“…Estimates from several studies suggest that the global welfare gains from higher migration flows from South to North migration are potentially substantial in the long run (e.g. Borgy et al 2010;Tyers and Shi 2007;Docquier, Machado and Sekkat 2015, inter alia). Many of the studies leverage the same economic intuition pioneered in the back-of-the-envelope estimates of Rodrik (2004) and Winters (2001), where the gains arise from workers moving from lower-productivity excess laborsurplus countries to higher-productivity excess labor demand countries.…”

“…Studies based on individual countries also find positive effects (muysken and Ziesemer, 2011, on the Netherlands; Boubtane, Coulibaly and D'Albis, 2015, on France). Studies suggesting that impacts are negative include Borgy et al (2010) in terms of gross domestic product (GDP) per worker and Dolado, Gloria and Ichino (1994). Finally, other studies indicate that the way immigration affects economic growth depends on the type of immigrants or the country of destination (kang and kim, 2012;…”

“…Based on a ten-region computable general equilibrium model that assumed perfect flexibility in labour and goods markets, Borgy et al (2010) conclude that immigration would lower the per capita GDP of workers in immigrant-receiving regions. Based on panel data of 23 OECD countries, Dolado et al (1994) also find that immigration negatively affects per capita GDP growth, but less so than other forms of population growth.…”
