The Economics of Immigration is written as a both a reference for researchers and as a
textbook on the economics of immigration. It is aimed at two audiences: (1) researchers
who are interested in learning more about how economists approach the study of human
migration flows; and (2) graduate students taking a course on migration or a labor
economics course where immigration is one of the subfields studied. The book covers the
economic theory of immigration, which explains why people move across borders and
details the consequences of such movements for the source and destination economies.
The book also describes immigration policy, providing both a history of immigration
policy in a variety of countries and using the economic theory of immigration to explain
the determinants and consequences of the policies. This second edition reflects the
growing importance of immigration as an economic, political, and social issue in the USA,
the EU, Japan, and nearly all other developed and developing countries of the world.
