Economics of Migration

Edited by Klaus F. Zimmermann, Bonn University and Thomas K. Bauer, Ruhr-Universität Bochum, Germany

'. . . it should be difficult to find a better compilation of fine research work on the microeconomics of migration covering the period from 1919 to 2000. The four volumes should therefore be a must for researchers and recommended reading for students and policymakers interested in regional and cross-border labour flows.'
