ECON 4350

Economics of Migration

Course Description

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2019-2020.

We live in a world of increased mobility: people move across urban-rural, state, and national borders in search of a better employment, education, civil rights, and lives for themselves and their children. Immigration is a significant phenomenon: in 2017, 258 million people or 3.5 per- cent of the world population were permanent immigrants. Furthermore, matters of immigrants, refugees, and immigration policy are often the biggest news stories of the day. Economists have been studying internal and international migration for more than five decades, examining the causes and consequences of these processes.
