During the last few decades the world has experienced an
unprecedented level of cross-border migration. While this has
generated significant socio-economic gains for host countries, as
well as sometimes for the countries of origin, the costs and
benefits involved are unevenly distributed. Consequently, growing
global population mobility is a hotly debated topic, both in the
political arena and by the general public. Amidst a plethora of
facts, opinions and emotions, the assessment of migration impacts
must be grounded in a solid scientific evidence base. This
analytical book outlines and applies a range of the scientific
methods that are currently available in migration impact assessment
(MIA). The book provides various North American and European case
studies that quantify socio-economic consequences of migration for
host societies and for immigrants themselves. With up-to-date and
broad coverage, this detailed study will appeal to academic
researchers in the social sciences, policy analysts at national and
international level, as well as graduate students in economics and
regional science. Contributors: T. Baycan, J. Clemente, H. Croes,
