“…The gravity model is valid for the relationship of the Czech Republic and EU member countries. Our findings support the previous literature on international trade and gravity in the Czech Republic (Akhvlediani and Śledziewska, 2016;Babuněk, 2012;Paulus and Michalíková, 2014;Jandová and Paleta, 2015).…”

“…The gravity model has also been used by several researchers adjusting it to analyze different phenomena in the Czech Republic. Jandová and Paleta (2015) analyzed the link between size, distance, and economic variables and internal migration flow within the Czech Republic. The researchers employed several versions of an extended gravity model, using wage, unemployment, and job vacancies as repressors and the internal migration flow as the dependent variable.…”

Purpose:In this paper, we test the influence on foreign trade and FDI by using the gravity model within the EU. The influence of IFRS is also tested, although we might expect that its influence will be smaller than that of other factors. Design/Methodology/Approach: According to the gravity model, countries are trading according to their proximity and also according to the size of their GDP. Negative influence is played by trade barriers and positive by common traditions and a common political background. Big countries trade a lot between each other, e.g., the USA and Canada on the same continent or the USA and Germany in different continents. Smaller countries, like the Czech Republic, do not have such an impact on the scale of world trade. The size of exports /imports is influenced by the fact of whether or not they are part of some trading bloc, e.g., the EU in Europe or NAFTA in America. Accounting rules, namely IFRS, are expected to be perceived as a positive influence on the world trade of a particular country and a country´s FDI (Foreign Direct Investment). Findings: Contrary to our expectations, we have found that the influence of IFRS is not insignificant and is more pronounced after the year 2010 which coincides with the change of local regulations. Practical Implications: The findings establish an interesting signal relating to perceiving the increasing quality of the Czech economic environment including accounting regulations. Originality/Value: Based on our methodology accounting rules, namely IFRS, are expected to be perceived as a positive influence on the world trade of a particular country and a country´s FDI (Foreign Direct Investment).

“…He finds that migration and trade from the Southern region to the European Union are positively and significantly correlated. Jandová and Paleta (2015) for the Czech region find that the economic variables—such as average wage, registered unemployment rate and job vacancies for internal migration—give slightly improved results than the pure gravity model. They further highlight that the economic variables in the ratio form have better explanatory power than their representation in differences and values.…”

The recent global migration pattern indicates the importance of the movement of people from developing countries to developed countries in search of better economic opportunities. The G20 report of ‘International Migration and Displacement Trends’ mentions India at the top of the list of highly educated emigrants in G20 countries. The current study addresses the endogeneity problem in the migration determinants and attempts to highlight the major regional and economic determinants of migration flow from India to major OECD countries using the Gravity model of migration. We apply the Prais–Winsten regression method to address the cross-sectional correlation, while we apply instrumental variable regression and Hausman–Taylor regression estimation techniques to deal with the endogeneity issue. The findings reveal that the population of India, distance, common official language and per capita income differential are the major determinants of migration from India. In the backdrop of our findings, in terms of per capita income differential, there is a need for an upward revision in the pay scale of the white-collar workers in the organised sector.

“…Thus, the empirical results from national analyses only contributed to the verification of migration theories, and to identifying potential differences between (inter)national determinants of migration, so as to become the groundwork for regional economic policies (Jandová & Paleta, 2015). Nevertheless, according to the 'push and pull' general theory of migration, immigration is determined by a summarized comparison of a wide range of positive factors in destination countries and various negative ones in the original place of residence (Rahmandoust, 2011).…”

Despite physical, cultural, economic and other obstacles, millions of people have recently emigrated from one country to another in search of a better life. Consequently, the importance of this research topic has grown over time. Analysis of this regional approach is based on the OECD censuses, and its unique Database on Immigrants (DIOC), which makes it possible to generate a wide variety of cross-tabulations on the characteristics of asylum-seekers by the country of their birth. The aim of this study is to contribute to literature by analysing the role of regional differences in migration more closely in terms of the importance of migration regulation policies in the OECD countries. According to the results based on Binary Logistic (Logit) and Linear (OLS) Regression models, the educational attainment, age, sex and the place of birth of migrants are related in different ways to their region of origin. Moreover, male migrants are more skilled than females, migrants who are more educated are older than the less skilled, and foreign-born migrants seemed to be older than native-born migrants. There is also additional evidence suggesting that different regions and countries might follow different policies and norms for admission of migrants. Therefore, forthcoming migration governance programs that aim to facilitate the labour market integration of migrants should also take into consideration their regional characteristics.
