“…In addition, while classifying immigrants according to their country of origin, they found that immigrants from non-English speaking countries had greater positive effects on native earnings than immigrants from English-speaking countries. Latif (2015) analysed the effect of global immigration on the rates of employment of host countries and found mixed results in the short run and the long run. In the short run, the results indicated the unidirectional causality that runs from immigration to the unemployment rate; thus, immigration has a positive and significant effect on the rate of unemployment.…”

This study examines and evaluates the dynamic causality relationship between immigration, unemployment, wages and GDP per capita in host countries with a focus on Australia. Previous research has indicated that the economic impact of immigration is significant; nonetheless, its effect on the labour market being positive or negative is inconclusive. This study uses a Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) to examine the dynamic short-and long-run nexus between these variables in Australia over the period 1980-2016. The paper provides clear evidence to policy makers on the positive spillover effect of immigration policies developed by the Australian government.

“…In a subsequent study Akbari and Aydede (2012) used census data for Canada from 1996, prices. Given the important immigration ow to Canada, Latif (2015) also used more recent data in a panel data setting to con rm the signi cant positive relationship between immigration and house rents.…”

Purpose This study aims to investigate the effect of immigration on housing prices in Australia both at the national and regional levels. Design/methodology/approach Data for eight Australian states on a quarterly basis from 2004–2017 is used. To study the possible dynamic and endogenous relationship between housing prices and immigration, a panel vector autoregressive error correction model (PVECM) is adopted. Findings Analysis of the results indicates that in the short run immigration positively and significantly affects housing prices, whereas in the long run no significant relationship was observed between the two variables. From the regional breakdown and analysis, it is discerned that in some states there is a significant and positive effect of immigration on residential real estate prices in the long run. Causality analysis confirms that the direction of causation is from immigration to housing prices. Practical implications The study illustrates that immigration and interstate migration, as well as high salaries, have been causing a rise in housing demand and subsequently housing prices. To monitor exceedingly high housing prices, local authorities should be controlling migration and salary levels. Originality/value Past research studies had highlighted the importance of native interstate migration in explaining the nexus between immigration – housing prices. In this study, it has been empirically verified how immigration has been affecting the locational decisions of natives and subsequently how this has been affecting housing prices.

Crises are now parts of daily experience, peoples, organizations, and destinations experience crises. Most times, it occurs without realizing it, and even when people take note, it is the negative spillovers that are often emphasized more than the positive spillovers. Little do people realize that the crisis they are in today prepares them for tomorrow's strength. Unfortunately, there is little or no literature on the positive spillovers of crises. This study aims to fill the literature on the positive spillover of crises on peoples, organizations, and destinations using a qualitative data triangulation, comprising face-to-face interviews and textual data. The study employed spillover effect and resilience theories to justify the arguments. Findings from stage 1 analysis revealed three themes, and stage 2 analyzes supported the findings. Most times, survivors of crises end up becoming resilient after an experience. This study discussed managerial and practical implications, as well as limitations and future studies.
