Author Ziesemer, Thomas Title Net-immigration of developing countries: The role of economic determinants, disasters, conflicts, and political instability Publication Date 2010 Publisher UNU-MERIT Abstract We provide regressions for the net immigration flows of developing countries. We show that (i) savings finance emigration and worker remittances serve to make staying rather than migrating possible; (ii) lagged dependent migration flows have a negative sign in the presence of migration stock variables; (iii) stocks of migrants in six OECD countries and in the developing countries have non-linear effects. Some of the non-linear effects vanish if indicators for disasters, conflicts and political instability are taken into account. UNU Topics of Focus Migration Keyword Migration
