RETURN MIGRATION AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP IN GHANA AND CÔTE D’IVOIRE: THE ROLE OF CAPITAL TRANSFERS (2009, background): “According to Lucas (2006), the stock of African migrants in OECD countries rose by nearly 1 million from 1990–2000, with the largest increases being in Southern Africa, and West Africa.”
The pro-trade effect of the brain drain: Sorting out confounding factors (2009, unknown): “However, Lucas (2006) concludes that “the empirical evidence on each of these ... channels remains highly controversial.”
Impact of Migration on Economic and Social Development: A Review of Evidence and Emerging Issues (2011, unknown): “Similarly to the destination countries in the North, there are calls in developing countries to focus on attracting the highly skilled migrants, discourage irregular migration, and reports of growing xenophobia (Lucas 2006).”
Does Development Reduce Migration?
