'As immigration has spread from traditional receiving nations to
developed countries throughout the world, the economics of
migration has become a burgeoning field of research. Amelie
Constant and Klaus Zimmermann's International Handbook offers an
excellent, state-of-the-art guide to the rapidly changing
intellectual terrain, providing comprehensive coverage of the
topics necessary to comprehend patterns and processes of migration
in the world today. It will be an indispensable guide to scholars
and policy-makers for years to come.' - Douglas S. Massey,
Princeton University, USMigration economics is a dynamic,
fast-growing research area with significant and rising policy
relevance. While its scope is continually extending, there is no
authoritative treatment of its various branches in one volume.
Written by 44 leading experts in the field, this carefully
commissioned and refereed Handbook brings together 28
state-of-the-art chapters on migration research and related issues.
Well-written and highly accessible, each chapter comprises a
critical assessment of the status quo and presents challenges to
the traditional economics of migration by addressing taboo issues.
Topics explored include: child labor migrants; immigrant
educational mismatch; ethnic hiring; immigrants, wages and obesity;
ethnic identities and the nation-state; natural disasters and
migration; immigration-religiosity intersections; immigration and
crime; immigrants' time use; happiness and migration; diaspora
resources and policies; and the evaluation of immigration policies.
Forging new foundations in the field of migration and providing
areas for future research, this Handbook will prove a seminal
reference for academics and students with an interest in
international and labor economics, and in regional studies. Social
psychologists and behavioral scientists, as well as practitioners
in political, cultural, social, demographic, environmental and
healthcare arenas, will find the ethnic identities coverage and
analysis of methods for studying ethnic identities an invaluable
reference tool. Contributors: F.M. Antman, L.M. Argys, S.L.
