“…Several differences may be observed between the static results of Dunlevy and Gemery (1978) for groups immigrating at the turn of the century and dynamic results for current groups. Such comparisons must be interpreted cautiously for results are derived from different models.…”

“…The average elasticity for the regressions of the recent groups (Mexico, China, Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Korea, India, and the Philippines) is 0.08 for employment and 0.11 for per capita income. The same averages for "new" immigration (from Italy, Russia, Hungary, Austria, and Poland) at the turn of the century are 0.23 for employment and 0.97 for income (Dunlevy and Gemery 1978). Recent immigration may therefore be less responsive to economic conditions than that occurring at the turn of the century, at least for the years compared.…”

Immigration settlement patterns are examined within a pooled cross‐section time‐series framework. Trends in settlement patterns from 1970 to 1979 differentiate the immigration streams from various source areas. Certain “new'’immigrants show an increasing propensity to concentrate, while immigrants from traditional source areas deconcentrate in some cases. The analysis suggests that immigration is a dynamic process with characteristics and determinants that change over time.

ABSTRACT International Migration and the Integration of Labor Markets *This paper is concerned with the determinants and consequences of intercontinental migration over the past four centuries. It begins with a review of the history of primarily transAtlantic migration to the New World during the period of Colonial settlement. The contract and coerced migration from Europe and Africa gave way, from the 18 th century, to an era of free European migration. The period 1850 to 1913 was one of mass migration, primarily from Europe to North America and Oceania and from parts of Asia (primarily India, China and Japan) to other parts of Asia, Africa and the New World. World wars, immigration restrictions and the Great Depression resulted in a period of low international migration (1913 to 1945). In the post-World War II period international migration again increased sharply, but with changes in the nature of the flows, and under the constraints of immigration controls. Europe joined North America and Oceania as a major destination, as did the oil producing Arab countries bordering the Persian Gulf. The paper then explores the reasons for this international migration. ...

Social Influences and Aggregated Immigration Dynamics: The Case of Spain 1999–2009

This research aims at broadening the applicability and scope of network-based explanations of international migration to include explanations of aggregated immigration dynamics for multiple immigrant collectives. Using a unique dataset that contains data on approximately 4.5 million international immigration events from 180 different origin countries in Spain between 1999 and 2009, my analysis shows conclusively that information about changes in the supply of immigrant social capital between past and potential immigrants explains the variation in local immigration rates in the destination society. It also show that incorporating information about such social network influences is very informative when the goal is to explain (1) temporal variation in intra-collective international immigration flows across different locations in the destination, (2) temporal variation in inter-collective international immigration flows within a specific location in the destination, (3) intra-collective differences in international immigration across locations in the destination, and finally (4) intercollective differences in local international immigration within the same geographical location in the destination.
