Over 200 million people worldwide live outside their country of birth and typically experience large gains in material well-being by moving to where wages are higher. But, the effect of this migration on other dimensions ...
Accounting for selectivity and duration-dependent heterogeneity when estimating the impact of emigration on incomes and poverty in sending areas

Gibson, John; McKenzie, David; Stillman, Steven (University of Chicago Press, 2013)

The impacts of international emigration and remittances on incomes and poverty in sending areas are increasingly studied with household survey data. But comparing households with and without emigrants is complicated by a ...
Australia's Pacific Seasonal Worker Pilot Scheme (PSWPS): Development impacts in the first two years

Australia launched the Pacific Seasonal Worker Pilot Scheme in August 2008. This program was designed to alleviate labor shortages for the Australian horticultural industry by providing opportunities for workers from ...
Migration and mental health: Evidence from a natural experiment

People migrate to improve their well-being. Yet a large literature suggests that migration can be a stressful process, with potentially negative impacts on mental health. However, to truly understand the effect of migration ...
What happens to diet and child health when migration splits households? Evidence from a migration lottery program

McKenzie, David; Gibson, John (2010)

Brain drain has long been a common concern for migrant-sending countries, particularly for small countries where high-skilled emigration rates are highest. However, while economic theory suggests a number of possible ...
The impact of immigration on child health: Experimental evidence from a migration lottery program

Stillman, Steven; Gibson, John; McKenzie, David (2010)

This paper uses a unique survey designed by the authors to compare migrant children who enter New Zealand through a random ballot with children in the home country of Tonga whose families were unsuccessful participants in ...
The development impact of a best practice seasonal worker policy: New Zealand’s Recognised Seasonal Employer (RSE) Scheme

Gibson, John; McKenzie, David (2010)

Gibson, John; McKenzie, David (2011)

The term "brain drain" dominates popular discourse on high-skilled migration, and for this reason, we use it in this article. However, as Harry Johnson noted, it is a loaded phrase implying serious loss. It is far from ...
How important is selection? Experimental vs non-experimental measures of the income gains from migration

McKenzie, David; Gibson, John; Stillman, Steven (2006)

Measuring the gain in income from migration is complicated by non-random selection of migrants from the general population, making it hard to obtain an appropriate comparison group of non-migrants. This paper uses a migrant ...
