Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aspects related to the links between international migration, foreign aid and the welfare state are highlighted in this paper. Migration is modeled as a costly movement from an aid-recipient developing country with low income and no welfare state, towards a rich donor, developed country with a well-developed welfare state. Within this model, it is found, among other things, that the best response of the developed donor country is to increase aid as the co-financing rate by the recipient country increases. When the immigration cost decreases, e.g. as a result of greater economic integration between the two countries, it is beneficial for the donor country to increase aid and the recipient country to increase the co-financing rate.

Book excerpt: In response to surging immigration pressure in Europe and the United States, Western policymakers advocate foreign aid as a means to fight the 'root causes' of irregular migration. This article provides the first global evidence of the effects of aid on migration preferences, migration flows, and possible underlying mechanisms, both in the short and longer term. We combine newly geocoded data on World Bank aid project allocation at the subnational level over the period 2008--2019 with exceptionally rich survey data from a sample of almost one million individuals across the entire developing world and data on migration and asylum seeker flows to high-income countries. Employing two distinct causal estimation strategies, we show that in the short term (after the announcement of a World Bank project and within two years after project disbursement), foreign aid improves individual expectations about the future and trust in national institutions in aid-receiving regions, which translate into reduced individual migration preferences and asylum-seeker flows. In the longer term (between three to five years after disbursement), foreign aid fosters improvements in individual welfare through poverty reduction and income increases, resulting in larger regular migration to high-income countries. Our findings show that aid can cause a short-lived reduction in migration aspirations, except in fragile Sub-Saharan African contexts where aid appears largely ineffective. In contrast, foreign aid enhances individual capabilities over the longer term, contributing to greater regular migration, consistent with the 'mobility transition' theory.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper surveys key developments in the theory of international migration and international trade, and provides a few stylized facts. International migration, in many important cases, such as cross-country differences in productivity, can be a complement to international flows of commodities. In the presence of a productivity difference that is generated by an external economy effect of human, capital physical capital has weak incentives to flow from developed to underdeveloped countries while pressures for international migration from poor to rich countries are strong. The balancing factors underlying an efficient global dispersion of population are those which generate advantages to size, such as public goods, or increasing returns to scale on one hand, and those which generate disadvantages to size, such as immobile factors or congestion effects in the utilization of public services, on the other hand. The modem welfare state typically redistribute income from the rich to the poor in a way which attracts poor migrants from the less developed countries. Since migration could impose a toll on the redistribution policy of the Developed Country it may benefit from the extension of foreign aid to the Less Developed Country if this aid serves to finance a subsidy to workers in the Less Developed Country, thereby containing migration.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: International migration, the movement of people across international boundaries, has enormous economic, social and cultural implications in both origin and destination countries. It is estimated that some one hundred and eighty million people (three per cent of the world's population) are living in countries in which they were not born. Among these are millions of highly-educated people who moved to developed countries from developing countries that already suffer from low levels of human capital and skilled workers. Moreover, the flow of formal remittances from migrants to their relatives in their countries of birth has exhibited a very rapid and accelerating rate of growth. Estimated to exceed one hundred billion dollars annually, remittances surpass foreign aid and account for the largest source of foreign capital for dozens of countries. This timely volume provides an in-depth examination of the relationship between - and the impacts on - migration, remittances and development. Using new household surveys and census data, the determinants of migration and the impact of migration and remittances on various measures of welfare are analyzed. Other issues discussed include the migration of skilled workers, the impact of international students and skilled migration in the United States, the determinants of internal and international migration from rural areas whilst providing a critical examination of the new 'brain drain' literature.

Download or read book Self Interest Group Interest and Values written by Lauren Prather and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why do individuals in donor countries support foreign aid? My dissertation examines three explanatory factors drawn from the literature on support for the welfare state: self-interest, group interest, and values. Chapter 2, Material Interests: The Self and the Nation, investigates the self-interest hypothesis. Although a considerable amount of past research focuses on the extent to which self-interest shapes attitudes towards foreign economic policies, few have investigated whether self-interest shapes opinion towards foreign aid. Moreover, the few studies on self-interest and foreign aid have provided mixed evidence in support of the relationship. These mixed findings, however, are largely the result of including objective proxies for self-interest in existing models of public opinion about foreign aid rather than building theory about the role of self-interest in foreign aid attitude formation. This study fills that gap in the literature and argues that the costs and benefits of foreign aid are neither clear nor salient to individuals in donor countries leading few individuals to believe that foreign aid affects their economic standing. By contrast, I argue that the costs and benefits of foreign aid to the nation are made clearer and more salient by elites, leading national interests to be a stronger predictor of attitudes towards foreign aid. I test these arguments using original surveys fielded in the United States and United Kingdom. I provide both observational and experimental evidence in support of the theory. In Chapter 3, Transnational Ties and Group Interests, I examine the role of group interest through a study of the effects of transnational ties on individual support for foreign aid. Although globalization and international migration have led more people than ever to have personal connections that cross national borders, we know little about how these personal connections affect attitudes towards foreign aid. In this study, I argue that transnational ties increase support for foreign aid via two possible mechanisms: group interests and cosmopolitanism. I test this theory using an original survey experiment embedded in a national survey of 1,000 Latino Americans. I find that Latinos vary significantly in the strength of their foreign ties and the strength of these ties is strongly correlated with support for U.S. foreign aid. The findings from the experiment, which varies the location of a U.S. foreign aid program, provides evidence in support of the cosmopolitan mechanism: Latinos with transnational ties equally support aid to Africa and aid to Latin America. A test of the generalizability of the findings to other racial and ethnic groups in the United States and United Kingdom reveal however that group interests may be a more powerful mechanism outside of the Latino American community. This study introduces an important new explanatory variable into the study of international redistribution and provides insight into the emerging link between international migration and foreign aid. Finally, Chapter 4, Values at the Water's Edge, looks at how values shape attitudes towards foreign aid. Prior research on public opinion about foreign aid points to the importance of values related to the welfare state such as economic ideology. Scholars argue that liberals, who support redistribution at home, also support redistribution abroad in the form of foreign aid. Yet, the conditions under which individuals apply values learned in the domestic political context to issues of foreign policy remain undertheorized. In this chapter, I argue that ideology interacts with foreign policy orientation -- individuals' placement along the internationalist/isolationist spectrum -- to shape mass attitudes towards foreign aid. Using data from public opinion surveys fielded in three different donor countries -- the United States, United Kingdom, and Norway -- I show that ideology is strongly associated with support for foreign aid among internationalists, but has little effect on isolationists' foreign aid preferences. The interaction also reveals a split among liberals: Liberal internationalists strongly favor foreign aid, but liberal isolationists oppose it. These findings help explain why American and British support for foreign aid is lower than support in countries like Norway, why domestic welfare programs in some countries are more popular than foreign aid, and why some countries have generous welfare states but are foreign aid laggards. In summary, this dissertation offers new theory and data to advance our understanding of why individuals in donor countries support foreign aid. The final chapter distills these theoretical contributions and findings, and offers reflections on steps for future research.
