International Migration and Development

The movement of people differs from the movement of goods and services because people create attachments with those with whom they share social capital, including norms, language, customs, values and culture. International migration affects social capital in both the countries of emigration and immigration by generating a number of externalities. The externalities associated with migration's impact on social capital have been formally examined in papers listed below.
