“…In addition, they can be eligible for public assistance programmes in some host countries, enabling domestic residents to argue against immigrant entries. 2 Due to the latter point, we take national borders for granted like usual studies in this field, that is: barriers to mobility of people do exist, and policymakers focus on e ects of migration flows (here, internationally mobile students) on their own country, not global e ects (Bansak et al, 2015).…”

This paper investigates the determinants of demand for higher education mobility from students in low-and middle-income countries to European countries over the period 2004-2013. We identify the dyadic factors associated to the relationships between home and host countries as well as monodic variables associated to "push" and "pull" factors. Used together with various linguistic relations, we emphasize the relevance of informal and formal networks in explaining resistance to migration of students. All put together, our results show that factors that are origin and destination specific like socio-demographic characteristics, individual beliefs and institutional profiles, out of the usual economic considerations, have a significant impact on student mobility.

This study contributes to the literature on destination-country consequences of international migration, with investigations on the effects of immigration from new EU member states and Eastern Partnership countries on the economies of old EU member states during the years 1995-2010. Using a rich international migration dataset and an empirical model accounting for the endogeneity of migration flows, we find positive and significant effects of post-enlargement migration flows from new EU member states on old member states' GDP, GDP per capita, and employment rate, and a negative effect on output per worker. We also find small, but statistically significant negative effects of migration from Eastern Partnership countries on receiving countries' GDP, GDP per capita, employment rate, and capital stock, but a positive significant effect on capital-to-labor ratio. These results mark an economic success of the EU's eastern enlargements and free movement of workers in an enlarged EU.

“…We apply human capital theory within the analytical framework of the economics of immigration (Constant & Zimmermann 2013;Borjas 2014;Bansak et al 2015;Chiswick & Miller 2015). Human capital theory states that different forms of productive and embodied skills, abilities and knowledge, such as education, vocational skills, language proficiency, work experience and health, determine labour market outcomes.…”

“…Recent research on the economics of immigrants provides several well-established analytical frameworks and theoretical models to analyse immigrants' labour market performance (Borjas 1989;Bodvarsson & Berg 2013;Bansak et al 2015). Included among these are the model of family decisionmaking in immigration elaborated by Mincer (1978), the models of positive self-selection of immigrants based on the human capital theory elaborated by Borjas (1987;, and the model of immigration driven by relative income elaborated by Stark and Taylor (1991).…”

Terms of use: Documents in AbstractThis study uses the longitudinal data from the Building a New Life in Australia survey to examine the relationships between human capital and labour market participation and employment status among recently arrived/approved humanitarian migrants. It includes attention to the heterogeneity of labour force participation and employment status across genders and also migration pathways. We find that the likelihood of participating in the labour force is higher for those who had preimmigration paid job experience, completed study/job training and have job searching knowledge/skills in Australia and possess higher proficiency in spoken English. We find that the chance of getting a paid job is negatively related to having better pre-immigration education, but it is positively related to having unpaid work experience and job searching skills in Australia, and better health.
