Law and Economics of Immigration

Edited by Howard F. Chang, Earle Hepburn Professor of Law, University of Pennsylvania Law School, US

‘It is almost impossible to underestimate the influence of economics upon immigration theory in today’s interconnected and globalized world. Howard F. Chang is one of the preeminent actors in this hybrid field of study, and has assembled a broad and deep cast in this volume, which usefully pulls together many studies and views. This will become an indispensable resource in the subject, as well as a detailed map of this important and growing academic area.’
