Economic Models of Migration of Skilled Labor and Preliminary Empirical Evidence

I. Literature Review On Migration Of Skilled Labor

Different approaches to migration have been identified and different assessments have been developed. These approaches are mainly based on the relationship between developing and developed countries with the possibilities of enhancing the likely benefits that can be obtained from this migration. In relation to that, some authors have considered the brain drain to be negative to developing economies while others have been more in favor of negotiated solutions as gains are observed to occur to source countries. This latter literature is now progressively shaping international and national policies.
