Synopsis

Book by Lucas Robert E B

A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

Robert Lucas has given us an instructive, up-to-date and cogent account of the effects of international migration on economic development. Using the contrasting cases of the European Union, the Gulf States, East Asia and North America he shows how sending countries experience divergent economic effects, depending on whether their emigrants depart, retain diasporic links or return. It is a particular treat to acknowledge a professional economist who has absorbed the key literature on transnational migration generated outside his field. With migration looming large on national and international policy agendas, this book deserves wide notice. --Robin Cohen, University of Warwick, UK

Présentation de l'éditeur :
