1996. 247-56 pp. Villeneuve d'Ascq, France. In Eng. with sum. in Fre.
"German migration statistics are based on a system of local
registers, and a change of dwelling is considered to be a migration
event. In the international context, this may lead to many
discrepancies, because other countries usually use other or modified
definitions. Often a particular intended length of stay is a
precondition for a definition of an individual as a migrant. Sometimes
only a change of permanent residence is recognised as creating a
migration event, excluding all seasonal movements with an intended stay
of several years. Migration data thus have to be used very carefully.
One possibility for avoiding extreme differences in data between two
countries may be to consider only migration balances. By doing so many
disturbance effects in the data may cancel each other out in the long
term."

patterns into a wider range of the migration behaviour which human
populations have experienced in their history and prehistory. It will
emphasise that the forms of migration which we see today, and [by]
which we judge the demographic effects of migration, are only a sub-set
of possible migratory behaviour. Other forms of migration, some now
extinct, have had much more substantial effects upon human population
than do most current forms of migration, even the recent substantial
international migration to Western Europe and the United

The author discusses differences in destinations chosen by
immigrants and native-born migrants in the United States. "The
surging immigration of the 1990s continues to cluster into just a
handful of large, mostly coastal metro areas. In contrast, domestic
migrants are attracted to growth poles in economically booming metros
and nonmetro counties east of the California immigrant ports and to
dynamic metros in the Southeast and Texas and interior parts of the
North. They prefer smaller metros and nonmetropolitan areas."

"The extent of taxation and redistribution policy is generally
determined at a political-economy equilibrium by a balance between
those who gain and those who lose from a more extensive tax-transfer
policy. In a stylized model of migration and human capital formation we
find, somewhat against conventional wisdom, that low-skill migration
may lead to a lower tax burden and less redistribution than without
migration, even though the migrants (naturally) join the pro-tax cum
transfer coalition."

then proceeds to a four-skill-levels case and derives the resulting
migration patterns. Finally, the approach utilized in the paper is
placed in the context of several hypotheses concerning labor
migration.

Demographic trends concerning immigrants to Canada
are analyzed using data from a number of sources, including the 1991
census. The author concludes that the demographic behavior of
immigrants does not differ greatly from that of Canadians as a whole.
However, immigrants generally tend to settle in major urban areas, and
assimilate into the English-speaking rather than the Francophone
community. Overall, immigrants compare favorably with native Canadians
in respect to income; however, more recent immigrants from places other
than Europe or the United States tend to be less economically
successful, which could pose some problems for the
future.

capital flows and immigration, although causality implications are
ambiguous. For the United States, the relation between factor flows is
more complex than for the other countries, but flows to the United
States have influenced those to smaller economies. All three nations
have been subjected to common immigrant push factors through to
1930-1950 but, since World War II, linkages between factor flows have

The
experiences of France and the United States concerning immigration and
the integration of immigrants into the labor force are compared for the
period 1880 to 1930. "Although immigration to the U.S. was
politically interpreted and valued as the individual migrants'
voluntary decision, only one step removed from citizenship, the absence
of state regulation in the labor market reinforced the role of ethnic
groups as mediators of the migration and integration process. In
France, conversely, immigrants, assisted as they were and directed to
their place of work by the joint effort of employers and state agencies
with the consent of organized labor, found themselves direct wards of
the State which developed its administrative functions to intervene on
behalf of the migrants, of employers and of the `national' labor force
to prevent the formation of dual labor markets. This
analysis...emphasizes the historical construction of the silent and
complete assimilation process within the working class in pre-World War
II France, and that of ethnicity as an enduring category in the
American society resulting from the vacuum of state run industrial
relations."

between Italy and each French département were assessed and
mapped to show changes in the distribution of the Italian population
between one period and the next. In addition, by recording increasing
birth rates among those with Italian surnames, it was possible to
determine the flow of migration in terms of the Italian regions
involved. These methods show that Italian migration is the result of
both rather old migration flows on the south eastern border of France,
and a more recent movement towards areas of employment (north east and

"Several migration flows are explaining the great number of
migrants in France and their localisation. Most of the present migrants
arrived during the period 1945-1975, when factories needed many
workers. On the whole, migrants or foreigners are numerous in
industrial areas....From one citizenship to another, the history of
migration has created specific features....The more recent flows are
concentrated around Paris....At the `département' level, the
concentration, measured by the Lorenz index, remained about the same in
the last fifteen years, partly because of a weak internal mobility
among migrants."

Research Council's Commission on Behavioral and Social Sciences and
Education: the Committee on National Statistics and the Committee on
Population. The workshop had two objectives. "One purpose was to
assist the Immigration and Naturalization Service in developing a
statistical information system, as required by the Immigration Act of
1990. The other purpose was to suggest possible improvements to the
data collection and analysis efforts of federal statistical agencies
and the social science research community." The report includes
the workshop recommendations, and also has chapters on trends in U.S.
immigration, effects of immigration and assimilation, labor force
issues, social and family networks, immigration data needs, and the
need for a longitudinal survey of immigrants.

Keys to successful immigration: implications of the New Jersey
experience. ISBN 0-87766-661-X. LC 96-49248. 1997. xviii, 428 pp.
Urban Institute Press: Washington, D.C. In Eng.
This is a
collection of 14 papers by various authors focusing on the economic,
social, and political integration of the immigrant population of New
Jersey over the decade 1980-1990. Implications for national immigration
policies are drawn throughout the book. The foreword describes New
Jersey in comparative perspective. Part 1 examines the demographic
context, and is divided into three chapters: a comparison of the
demographic and labor-market characteristics of the foreign-born
population of New Jersey and the foreign-born population of the United
States as a whole; an estimation of the numbers and demographic
characteristics of undocumented immigrants in New Jersey, including a
discussion of their fiscal impact in the state and the federal and
state public policies aimed at reducing their size and impact; and an
analysis of public opinion concerning immigration. Part 2 describes the
economic, social, and political impacts of immigration and has chapters
on the impact on wages and employment; state and local fiscal impacts;
education; the effect of place of birth and ethnicity on birth
outcomes; and the political behavior of immigrants. Part 3 analyzes
immigrant adaptation and provides chapters on differences in fertility
between immigrants and natives; immigrant incomes and labor-force
assimilation; homeownership; segregation; and language
ecology.

programs to reduce fertility in those countries. Measures for a
moderate increase in legal migration from South to North are also
discussed.

"Immigrants who arrived in the United States before
the Civil War were less likely to reside in locations with high
immigrant concentrations as their time in the U.S. increased. This is
contrary to the experience of recent immigrants who show no decrease in
concentration after arrival....The isolation of contemporary immigrants
even after several years in the U.S. thus results more from the
reluctance of the native-born to relocate to places with many
immigrants than from immigrants' reluctance to move to places with
fewer immigrants. Contemporary immigrants had greater success than
antebellum immigrants avoiding unskilled jobs as they entered the U.S.
job market, though they moved out of unskilled jobs less often than
antebellum immigrants....These findings suggest the need to reevaluate
some of the premises upon which the concerns about the economic
performance of recent immigrants are
based."

The role of the
immigrant entrepreneur in the mass immigration from Europe to the
United States that occurred over the course of the nineteenth century
is examined. The authors define entrepreneurship and hypothesize about

sources of immigrant entrepreneurship. Finally, they examine the extent
to which entrepreneurship was linked to nineteenth-century immigration
to the United States by analyzing several data
samples.

"The recent scrutiny
given to the impact of post-1965 immigration to the United States has
largely overlooked an important long-term consequence: social and
demographic divisions, across regions, that are being created by
distinctly different migration patterns of immigrants and domestic,
mostly native-born migrants. Evidence for 1990-95 shows a continuation
of: highly focused destinations among immigrants whose race-ethnic and
skill-level profiles differ from those of the rest of the population;
migration patterns among domestic migrants favoring areas that are not
attracting immigrants; and accentuated domestic outmigration away from
high immigration areas that is most evident for less educated and
lower-income long-term residents. These separate migration patterns are
leading to widening divisions by race-ethnicity and population growth
across broad regions of the country. These patterns are likely to make
immigrant assimilation more difficult and social and political
cleavages more pronounced."

"This paper examines
the issues of who is likely to migrate and why, and what happens when
people migrate, by viewing the migratory process as a strategy
formulated and implemented by networks of kin for culturally surviving
the redefinitions of contemporary political systems within the context
of the capitalist world economy. Specifically the argument presented is
that people move across the juridical boundaries of contemporary
nation-states as part of household strategies designed to maintain
membership in a specific social stratum. For a substantial number this
social stratum is a middle class. Self-identification with a social
stratum, in other words, takes precedence over self-identification
with, and commitments to, nation, region or ethnic
group."

"We examine illegal immigration in the United States
from Mexico over the period 1976-1995. One challenge is that we do not
observe the number of individuals that attempt to enter the United
States illegally; we only observe the number of individuals apprehended
attempting to cross the U.S.-Mexico border illegally. Based on a simple
migration model, we postulate the existence of an apprehensions
function, which expresses apprehensions at the border as a function of
illegal attempts to cross the border and U.S. border-enforcement
effort....We find that a 10% decrease in the Mexican real wage leads to
a 7.5% to 8.8% increase in apprehensions at the
border."

Current trends in international
migration are examined in the context of recent changes in the world
economy. The author notes that "despite tighter controls,
increasing numbers of workers are moving, whether legally or not,
between countries. Unskilled immigrant workers play a vital role in
improving standards of living in the developed world. And in turn the
countries from which they have come benefit in a major way from the
earnings sent back home. Arguing that few of the fears about
immigration are justified, and that increased immigration tends to mean
that jobs and incomes expand, [the author] shows why governments will
have to ensure the freedom of people to come and go as they
choose."

"Recent studies suggest that the

natives and imply that these immigrants did not assimilate well into
the American labor market. Using data for Michigan and California this
article estimates new specifications for immigrant and native-born
earnings, and finds that immigrants who arrived as children had similar
earnings profiles to the native-born. Immigrants who arrived as adults
suffered an initial earnings disadvantage but their earnings grew
faster than those of the native-born. These results are consistent with
the traditional view that pre-1890 immigrants assimilated
well."

"A
methodology is devised for the empirical analysis of the determinants
of outmigration of immigrants in a population. Empirical studies in
this area have been hindered by a lack of longitudinal data on the
characteristics of the immigrants. This problem is tackled by making
use of cross-sectional data at two points in time. It is applied to the
study of male immigrants in the United States. It is found that
education is positively related to the rate of outmigration for
immigrants from Canada, Asia and the pooled sample of immigrants. This
finding suggests that the cross-sectional estimates of the growth in
earnings of immigrants in the United States are underestimated for
these groups of immigrants."

"Using data gathered in 25 Mexican communities, the authors
link individual acts of migration to 41 theoretically defined
individual-, household-, community-, and macroeconomic-level
predictors. The indicators vary through time to yield a discrete-time
event-history analysis. Over the past 25 years, probabilities of first,
repeat, and return migration have been linked more to the forces
identified by social capital theory and the new economics of migration
than to the cost-benefit calculations assumed by the neoclassical
model. The authors find that Mexico-U.S. migration stems from three
mutually reinforcing processes: social capital formation, human capital
formation, and market consolidation."

"The impact of
massive immigration in the post-1870 period produced major changes
in...Argentine society. Integration of immigrant groups (Italians,
Spaniards, the French and others) was nevertheless fiercely opposed by
local elites. The essay is firstly concerned with size and development
of immigration flows; secondly it deals with the characteristics of
local reaction against the immigrants; thirdly it reveals how, in spite
of the latter, the Italians' integration did take place in the
Argentine middle classes. Finally, a particular case-study is
presented, in connection with integration of immigrants and their
descendants in the national army."

"This paper is intended to be a prelude of a study on
intermediaries in international migration in Asia, based primarily on
the Japanese case. In the next section, I introduce the legal framework
of labor contracting in Japan....In Section 3, I pick up several actual
examples of the channels of migrant workers coming to Japan. They are:
(i) Japanese-descended migrant workers from Brazil, (ii) job-trainees
from China, (iii) entertainers from the Philippines, (iv) `slavery'
women from Thailand, and (v) workers smuggled from China by snake
heads. This illustrates differences according to types of migrants, as
well as common features across them. In Section 4, I try to explain the
features by using simple economic concepts. Section 5 considers a
broader Asian context. Section 6 concludes with a summary of major
findings in this paper."

"At the same time as the political tensions
increased in Europe around 1900, an international labor market was
developing. More and more proletarians from different parts of the
continent searched for labor opportunities in the center of the
agrarian and industrial capitalism. In several countries, including
Russia, capitalists more and more actively recruited labor migrants for
seasonal work. The labor migrants became a political issue as a part of
the trade negotiations between Germany and Russia. Also, the Austrian
colonization and political expansion in the Balkans can be looked upon
in a perspective of (labor) migration. Class and ethnic conflicts
coincided and escalated into an international
conflict."

"This paper brings some simple general equilibrium modelling
with unemployment to bear on the question of the economic effects of
immigration. Employment and taxation effects, rather than wage and
distribution effects, are found to be crucial in determining the impact
of immigration on the welfare of factor owners in the receiving
country....Certain types of immigration are shown to be Pareto
improving for the receiving country, without any need for lump sum
transfers. Some simple simulations are carried out to illustrate the
results. The results contrast sharply with findings of previous partial
equilibrium and full employment studies, and have significant policy
implications."

This is a
collection of six studies by various authors on aspects of contemporary
Caribbean migration, particularly concerning the Dominican Republic,
Jamaica, Haiti, and the United States. "The volume's contributors
present innovative ways of reconceptualizing and studying Caribbean
emigration and return. The authors jettison the conventional,
settler-sojourner model and recommend, instead, a more dynamic approach
that affirms the transnational identities, processes, and structures
that constitute contemporary Caribbean migration. Their accounts are
enriched by an appreciation of the ways in which these identities and
processes are inflected by differences of class, race, gender,
generation, and locality. Finally in exploring the crucial link between
Caribbean migration and economic development the contributors emphasize
the social embeddedness of individual migrants' economic
actions."

International migration, remittances and income distribution in the
source country: a synthesis. Bulletin of Economic Research, Vol.
49, No. 1, Jan 1997. 29-46 pp. Oxford, England. In Eng.
"The
paper explores, under a wide variety of circumstances, the welfare
impact of emigration. The analytical framework posited is a simple
two-factor, two-commodity, two-class general equilibrium model that
makes a distinction between traded and non-traded goods. The principal
aim is to collect and synthesize the well-known results in the
literature, derived from diverse analytical frameworks, as well as to
establish a number of new ones. It is shown that pure emigration can be
beneficial to the non-emigrants in the source country, irrespective of
the welfare criteria adopted, if accompanied by sufficient remittances.
The paper also highlights the fact that emigration does not affect all
classes in society symmetrically. The division of losers and gainers
depends on the volume of remittances, the distribution of factor
endowments and the type of emigration."

economic consequences of immigration: lessons for immigration

York/Berlin, Germany. In Eng.
The economic impact of immigration on
the countries of North America and Western Europe is examined, with
particular emphasis on the tax-and-transfer aspects. The author
concludes that "though high-skill immigrants have a stronger
positive effect than low-skill immigrants do...there is no group of
immigrants--no matter how small their educations--who have been shown
to have a negative effect upon the economy." He therefore
recommends policies that allow more immigrants or provide for an
auction of potential immigrants if unrestricted immigration is not an
option; and he suggests developing guest-worker programs as an
alternative to illegal immigration.

"It has been estimated that more
than 70 million people, from developing countries mostly, are employed
outside their native countries, legally or illegally, that more than a
million people emigrate on a permanent basis to other countries every
year, that as many seek asylum and that more than 12 million refugees
live outside their native countries. These estimates point at external
migrations as a widely spread and growing phenomenon, with various
important developmental, economic, political and humanitarian facets.
Like almost all other countries, Yugoslavia too is affected by this
global phenomenon and it has been in the world migratory trends for a
long time now. Its entire territory was characterized by external
migrations and some of its regions particularly by migration for
economic reasons."

inadequate freedom for publicly-funded research, overwhelming presence

factors have meant that relatively little priority has been given to
migration study and have delayed the emergence of methodological
reflections. Thus it was natural that the INED (National Institute for

first large-scale random survey on immigrants or foreign origin

The chapters in this book are
a selection from papers presented at a conference on labor migration
held in Antwerp, Belgium, November 4, 1994; the meeting was the
fifteenth annual conference of the Belgian-Dutch Association of
Post-Keynesian Studies. The first chapter, by Russell King, puts
migration into its historical perspective, and argues that labor
migration has played a key role over the course of history. The second,
by Bimal Ghosh, looks at the economic aspects of labor migration from
the perspective of the sending countries. Vernon Briggs looks at the
impact of labor migration on receiving countries, and examines
immigrants and efficiency in labor markets, the inclusion of equity
issues into public policy, and the impact of social policy. Finally,
Heinz Werner analyzes the process of economic integration in the
European Union and its relation to international labor migration, and
considers the prospects for developing an immigration policy at the
communal, as opposed to the national, level.

Economic aspects of international migration, edited by Herbert Giersch.
1994. 249-73 pp. Springer-Verlag: New York, New York/Berlin, Germany.
In Eng.
In Section I, the author articulates two demographic
factors that will determine the availability of human resources in
Europe at the turn of the century: a continued decline in fertility
that will lead to labor shortages, and an increase in migration
pressures from non-EC countries. "Section II summarizes some
stylized facts of aging and migration in Europe and West Germany,
stating that Germany can serve as an important reference case because
(i) its labor force is aging considerably, (ii) it has experienced a
large inflow of immigrants in recent decades, and (iii) it seems to be
attractive [on the basis of] current economic conditions. Section III
outlines the European migration problem, where it is discussed to what
extent this problem can be approached with lessons [from] North
America. Section IV summarizes the papers in the volume and outlines
what can be learned [that is relevant to] the European migration
problem. Section V concludes."

attempts to identify the factors that influence motivations for
migration among the migrants [in Nigeria] (push and pull factors). The
empirical results from the national survey of internal migration on
which this study is based showed that the differences observed in the
weights migrants attached to motivations for migration were
statistically significant and did not just occur by chance. Though both
the push and pull factors were important in explaining migration
[decisions], the push factors were more important in the decision to
migrate than the pull factors. This calls for a more comprehensive and
coherent attention on the push factors in government efforts to stem
anti-developmental migration patterns in

Migration flows relating to foreigners within national borders, on the

ask what the role of such migration flows is on the distribution of
foreigners within the country. After a brief analysis of the mobility
rates between census years for the main nationality groupings, we
present an analytical method which shows that, as far as the regions in

effect on the fall in numbers of foreigners and immigrants registered

unusually large flows into this broad destination area, and to
introduce origin-based explanatory variables which help to explain the
factors influencing these flows. The flows into this area which
originate in Scotland are contrasted with those which originate in

in-migration from southern England continues to be a significant
element of population change in this remote rural

1996. 179-91 pp. New York, New York. In Eng.
"This paper
maintains that the special motive force behind the current migration
within China is caused by the population distribution pattern in the
country and by a deformed industrial structure born of the
long-followed strategy of giving priority to the development of heavy
industry. Added to this motive force is the gap between urban and rural
areas in terms of income, which has constantly widened ever since
reform. An analysis [of] the characteristics of migration shows that
the migratory process is in step with the laws of economic growth and
market development and is therefore inevitable. Finally, this paper
presents a prediction of future trends and possible directions of
policies."

"This essay endeavors to present
an overview of the issues concerning China's surplus rural laborers and
internal migration by addressing some basic questions. How many surplus
rural laborers does China have? Why has there been such a massive
increase in the number of Chinese peasants who want to leave their
farmland during the past decade? How many surplus rural laborers have
joined the so-called `floating population'? What is the main direction
of China's internal migration? What measures can the government take to
respond to the pressure, with what costs and consequences? And what
changes need to take place within the country to accommodate the
migrant population?" Data are from various Chinese sources, many
of which have only recently become available.

"This paper deals with gross migration between Danish regions.
Migration is interpreted as the result of differences in labour market
conditions in various regions, i.e. as a special case of hiring in
which a job-seeker in one region is matched to a job in another region.
In the empirical part of the paper a regression model is estimated
using annual data for 14 Danish counties covering the period 1981-1993.
The migration rate is influenced by factors such as unemployment,
vacancy rates and other economic factors such as wages and prices.
Finally, the influence of spatial factors is
discussed."

Abingdon, England. In Eng.
"This paper uses a typology of
local metropolitan development to examine population redistribution
trends in the U.S. over the past three decades. Theories of systemic
maturation and urban life-cycles are discussed and evaluated. Analysis
of population and inter-county migration data reveals that localised
deconcentration has become an increasingly common sub-process of
metropolitanisation, but that this sub-process cannot be fully
explained by a life-cycle model of metropolitan development. More
importantly, results indicate that metro-based migration varies
significantly with local patterns of metropolitanisation. The nature of
this variation implies that declining metropolitan areas tend to
redistribute migrants to relatively distant metropolitan and
non-metropolitan territory in a manner consistent with extended
processes of population deconcentration."

we examine the forces influencing the decision to migrate or not to
migrate, and in addition, for those who did migrate, the forces
influencing the locational choices made. The results indicate that,
while some of the traditional factors influencing migration are
important, others are not, suggesting that in the post-Soviet era,
differentiating the persistence of Soviet-type forces from emerging

residential mobility. Professional Geographer, Vol. 49, No. 1, Feb
1997. 14-28 pp. Oxford, England. In Eng.
"This paper
investigates the role of housing age in constraining residential
mobility, measured as the percent of households that have moved into
their homes in the past 15 months. The leading explanation for why
mobility rates differ so much among regions of the United States has
been the overall level of growth. The present analysis shows that the
growth effect operates through both the newness of population
(migration) and the newness of housing available for occupancy by all
local residents. The posited explanation for this housing age effect is
that progressively older units contain increasingly settled occupants,
yielding fewer opportunities for in-movers in areas with older housing.
It is empirically demonstrated that households in older housing have
lower likelihood of recent mobility even after controlling for age,
tenure, migration status, and state location of residence. The analysis
reveals the temporal interdependency of mobility, migration, person
age, and housing age."

whites, with an attraction to the South and the Southwest and movement
out of the Northeast and the Midwest. Some differences were observed,
however, between the two races. Return migration rates were somewhat
higher for black migrants as compared with whites, and onward migration
rates were lower. Black primary out-migrants represented a larger
proportion of the total flows from the southern states as compared with
white out-migrant flows, and they represented a larger share of the
out-migrants from the rust belt states. The major migration streams
also had different regional and national patterns by race and migrant
type."

Data from the Cumulative General Social
Surveys for the period 1972-1994 are used to compare attitudes of U.S.
white migrants who have moved away from and to the South. The results
indicate that "nonsoutherners who have moved to the South hold
almost the same values as other nonsoutherners, suggesting that these
migrants have not adopted southern opinions. Southerners who have
relocated outside the South, however, hold attitudes that are closer to
those of nonsoutherners than to those of southerners. This pattern
persists when the data are segmented into two periods, 1972-1983 and
1984-1994." The authors conclude that "placed in the
framework of the theoretical literature on migration, southern migrants
seem to be assimilating into nonsouthern culture and nonsouthern
migrants appear to be retaining their views, leaving the South a more
pluralistic region."

intentions and behavior in Romania. Population Research and Policy
Review, Vol. 15, No. 5-6, Dec 1996. 437-57 pp. Dordrecht, Netherlands.
In Eng.
"This paper analyzes the determinants of migration
decision-making in the context of recent market and democratic
transition in Romania. Using early 1990s internal migration survey,
census and population register data, the results from Lisrel path
models show that market and democracy value orientation variables are
significant determinants of intentions to move, controlling for
individual and regional social structural and resource indicators.
Similarly, district-level out-migration behavior is directly determined
by the political profile of the local area. Results from the total and
disaggregated rural and urban models are interpreted through a reform
values and characteristics typology of migrants. At least in the early
stages of Romanian transition, the results indicate that migration
choice behavior is governed by a search for places with greatest
opportunities in terms of market and democracy returns. Implications of
the results for political system and public policy decision are
discussed."

argument that the higher prevalence of two-career marriages among women

in two-career families are less likely to migrate than scientists in
one-career families. Second, the effect of two-career marriages on the
probability of migration differs with gender; women are affected more
negatively. Third, the effect of children on the probability of
migration differs with gender; women are affected more negatively. The
empirical work uses a data set of doctoral scientists extracted from
the 5% Public Use Microdata Sample from the 1990 [U.S.] census. The
first two hypotheses are not confirmed by the empirical results, but we
find evidence supporting the third. Family constraints on women
scientists' careers generally appear to be weak, but become acute when
they have children."

organization is the nation-state, which leads to a presumption of state
legitimacy when the state represents a community, based on ethnic

nation-state tends to produce forced migration for three reasons: it
contains more than one nation; the populace disagrees about the
structure of the state or economy; or the state implodes due to the
lack of resources. This paper elaborates a theory of refugee production
and policy formation based on the dynamics of the nation-state. It
concludes by addressing international refugee policy and practice in

"Despite increasing prominence

migration have rarely been empirically tested. This article focuses
attention on the migration decision-making process of refugees. Its
conceptual basis is that the decision making of refugees can be
critically compared with that of other migrants. An analytical
framework is suggested which focuses on the receipt and evaluation of
information about prospective destinations in the decision-making
process. It is tested in the context of Mozambican refugees in Malawi
in 1992 and 1993. Analysis shows that this framework achieves a
qualified success in explaining the patterns and processes of migration
of the study population, and suggests broader applications for the
framework."

communities, and ecosystem in the Gansu Province in the years to come.
Therefore, assessment of the expected result of this large-scale
migration should be a crucial part of [a] feasibility study on
migration. Since certain effects will not be seen until a period of
time after the migration is completed, the economic, social, and
ecological effects of this migration are assessed partially on the
basis of prior migration."

"In this article,
a family migration model is introduced where differences in regional
amenities and wage rates can result in voluntary, temporary migration.
A household production model of temporary migration will be developed
and tested to analyse Egyptian temporary migration to the Gulf region.
The theoretical model will be a two-period model of temporary migration
and will be empirically tested using the well known and comprehensive
1982 Egyptian Fertility Survey, which is part of the World Fertility
Survey and covers a period for which temporary migration from Egypt was
at or near its peak. This was also before the Gulf War, after which
patterns of migration were different."

Failure to absorb: remigration by immigrants into Israel.
International Migration Review, Vol. 30, No. 4, Winter 1996. 950-78 pp.
Staten Island, New York. In Eng.
"Hypotheses about remigration
by immigrants are investigated using longitudinal data from the 1970s
for immigrants to Israel. The main finding is that experience of
unemployment during the first year in Israel does not, on the whole,
help predict subsequent remigration. The propensity to remigrate varies
inversely with age for most groups, and it increases if the immigrant
has not acquired permanent housing. Immigrants on temporary resident
visas are naturally more prone to remigrate in the short run. The
well-educated and the young are more likely to be temporary
residents."

differences between return and onward migrants. International
Migration Review, Vol. 30, No. 4, Winter 1996. 979-94 pp. Staten
Island, New York. In Eng.
"The purpose of this article is to
extend the empirical literature on Chicano return migration by
examining earnings differentials between return and onward Chicano
migrants. Our approach reflects the complexity of estimating such
effects in terms of selectivity biases and the interaction between
individual and locational attributes. We use data derived from the
public use microdata sample (PUMS) of the 1990 U.S. census. After
controlling for migration and labor force self-selection, results
indicate that Chicano return migrants are not negatively self-selected.
Chicano return migrants have smaller earnings profiles largely due to
the negative effects of living in areas with higher concentrations of
co-ethnics. Apparently, return migrants, at least in the short run, are
willing to accept lower earnings for the nonpecuniary benefits of
living in the Southwest."

"In this paper a Harris-Todaro
migration model is developed with the urban manufacturing sector
supplying a crucial input for the rural sector. Capital is region
specific but flows freely between two urban sectors. Final goods are
traded and have exogenously fixed prices. If this economy imposes a
tariff on the import-competing manufacturing sector, employment might
go down even if the protected sector is labour intensive. The paper
describes how intersectoral linkages can play a significant role in
determining the employment effects of a
tariff."

This is an
analysis of out-migration from the hill region of Uttar Pradesh, India.
The data are from a survey of 524 households undertaken in the area of
migrant origin in 1985, and from interviews of 110 migrants from this
region carried out in Delhi, the capital city. The focus of the study
is on the impact of migration on the region of origin. The author
analyzes the volume, destination, and characteristics of migrants from
this region; the socioeconomic factors that influence them to migrate;
and the importance of return migration. The results suggest that the
out-migration of relatively young, well-educated males has a negative
impact on the economy of both the region as a whole and on that of the
individual families concerned.

"This
study analyzes the effect of agrarian change on regional settling
dynamics in Chile during the last 35 years. The transformations of
agrarian structure have produced important changes in the spatial
configuration of country-city relations, particularly regarding the new
features of rural-urban migration in regional contexts. Whereas until
the sixties rural-urban migration was associated with an occupational
shift from agriculture to urban employment, after the seventies this
relation practically disappeared, leaving a virtual disassociation
between the territorial mobility of the population and the occupational
mobility of the labor force. This disassociation is a central trait of
the current regional pattern of country-city
relations."

433-46 pp. Oxford, England. In Eng.
"The term
counterurbanisation is frequently used to describe the redistribution
of a population away from major cities and metropolitan areas and
towards more rural areas. The widespread nature of this phenomenon has
attracted much attention, yet the concept remains relatively
under-developed, and even the basic definition lacks rigour. It is not
surprising, therefore, that there has been a lack of cumulative
evidence as to the extent of the process and little agreement as to its
significance. In essence, ambiguity surrounds the types of movement
that should be admitted, the necessary motives for movement and the
appropriate measures for both. This paper offers some preliminary
suggestions for a more structured approach to the problem. It draws on
original survey data from Devon [England], a county which has
experienced substantial net in-migration, both to examine the
contribution of three alternative definitions of counterurbanisation
and to consider how these issues relate to
motivation."

"Migration is a
process of long duration, which reflects the migrant's needs and
values. The causes of migration relate to the physical and social
environments, and these factors can be described by push and pull
theories. The probability of moving to a specific location depends on
the differential attractiveness of the various regions available to the
migrant. The rise of the turnaround phenomenon in migration in the
developed countries has been explained by changes in the
place-preference value system. Migration to the countryside has focused
on areas within easy access of the main built-up areas in Kainuu,
Finland."

"The Amazon region in
Pará State, Brazil...is characterized by a high mobility of the
rural population to the main cities and to the frontiers. This thesis
is an analysis of the rural problems, the agricultural sector, the
characteristics and the social situation of eastern Amazonia, with
special focus on the Salgado, Bragantina and Guajarina regions. An
initial [survey of 201 subjects] was carried out [among] the migrant
population now living in the cities to establish their former problems
in the rural areas. A second [survey of 72 subjects] was carried out in
the rural area to ascertain the problems for rural development."
In addition, 646 young people were surveyed on their attitudes toward
agriculture and migration. "The main reasons for rural-urban
migration are based on the poor transportation system and school
situation....[In addition,] the agricultural system influences the
migration rate." The author concludes that "a development of
the rural areas is impossible for many years, as long as the present
political situation remains."

"This paper examines
three distinctive patterns of economic development in terms of their
economic and migration outcomes in Zhejiang province, China. At the
prefecture level, `trickle down' development works best in promoting
rural development while reducing out-migration; but it requires a
strong urban economy and sufficient investment. Rural household
enterprise requires little government investment while boosting rural
development; but it increases rural out-migration and, without a sound
urban industrial base, is difficult to sustain in the long run. Rural
collective industrialization achieves a better balance between rural
development and out-migration. Future development should pay equal
attention to rural development and urban expansion. The challenge
should not be how to restrict but how to channel migration and capital
flow."
