Migration and Economic Growth

Edited by Mathias Czaika, Professor in Migration and Globalisation, Danube University Krems, Austria and Carlos Vargas-Silva, Senior Researcher, Centre on Migration, Policy and Society, University of Oxford, UK

'Mathias Czaika and Carlos Vargas-Silva have assembled an excellent collection of previously published articles on all aspects of the connections between migration and economic growth. As well, they provide an introduction that sets out the cross-connections between migration and economic growth, and provides and lead-in to the articles that follow in their compilation. An excellent place to start if one wanted to cover most of the important topics and researched areas in the overlap between migration and economic growth during the last fifty years.'
