Description:
"The Economics of Immigration. Theory and Policy" is written as a both a reference for researchers and as a textbook on the economics of immigration. It is aimed at two audiences: (1) researchers who are interested in learning more about how economists approach the study of human migration flows; and (2) graduate students taking a course on migration or a labor economics course where immigration is one of the subfields studied. The book covers the economic theory of immigration, which explains why people move across borders and details the consequences of such movements for the source and destination economies. The book also describes immigration policy, providing both a history of immigration policy in a variety of countries and using the economic theory of immigration to explain the determinants and consequences of the policies. The timing of this book coincides with the emergence of immigration as a major political and economic issue in the USA, Japan Europe and many developing countries."
以下是我的读书(或者说翻书)体会:
前段时间快速地翻过这本书,总体上是一本好书。感觉上这本书内容上比较全面,从国际迁移的原因、迁移的影响,到国际移民政策。不过遗憾的是,对一些关键文献的点评不能算很深入,很出彩。
