Economics of Migration

Dear Colleagues,

Migration is an issue facing most global economies. Countries may act as migration sources, as destinations for migrants, or even as mediating ground. The recent Global Financial Crisis, the Arab Spring, and the internal and external conflicts facing several countries today, along with the continuous difficulties facing populations in various parts of the world, have transformed migration into a multidimensional issue with numerous consequences. The increasing interest of researchers in the field of migration in several disciplines has served to verify the existing trends and indicates the need to perform further work to address the issues and suggest informed policies.

In order to develop a better insight into these trends, disciplines such as economics have begun to use microeconomic and macroeconomic theory to analyze the roots and effects of such multifaceted phenomena. In this Special Issue, Economies is inviting researchers and academicians to submit their work related to “Economics of Migration”. Both empirical and theoretical work fit the scope of the Special Issue, with interdisciplinary work highly encouraged.
