Résumé : | A growing number of OECD countries are leaning toward the adoption of selective immigrationpolicies, which are expected to raise the quality (or education level) of migrants.This view neglects two important dynamic effects: the role of migration networks, whichcould reduce the quality of migrants, and the responsiveness of education decisions to theprospect of migration. We propose a model of self-selection into migration with endogenouseducation choices, which predicts that migration networks and the quality of migrants canbe positively associated when destination countries adopt sufficiently selective immigrationpolicies. Empirical evidence, presented as background motivation, suggests that this is indeedthe case. |
