This book addresses a largely unresolved mirror question. Does
migration cause development or the other way around? As the
contributors show, the compromise idea that they are mutually
constitutive depends on a careful examination of the forms of
migration (temporary, circular, permanent or return), the role of
the destination and origin states and the ways in which remittance
income has been deployed. Robert Lucas has assembled an excellent
team of established and up-and-coming economists who address these
issues in this instructive Handbook.' - Robin Cohen, University of
OxfordMigration and economic development are mutually linked.
Development is a catalyst for migration and vice versa. However,
the signs of causal links in both directions remain widely
disputed, prompting questions about the reciprocity between the
two. This Handbook summarizes the state of thinking and presents
new evidence on various links between international migration and
economic development, with particular reference to lower-income
countries. The connections between trade, aid and migration are
critically examined through global case studies. Some of the topics
covered include: - a review of European states' co-development
strategies to limit immigration and redirect remittances - an
exploration of the role of the diaspora in transferring technology
and stimulating trade - an examination of the economic roots of
international terrorism. The various chapters extend our frontiers
of understanding with fresh evidence, providing a useful reference
point for researchers, students and policymakers interested in
development and migration. Contributors include: C. Carletto, M.A.
