If the United States were to face a mass migration of people into the country, shouldn't our planners and politicians know in advance? What will be the costs? What are the benefits? How do we we measure and predict mass movements in advance of their occurrence? Are there ways in which we can control them?
In this major book, these issues and others are addressed by some of the country's top experts on the subject. The book contains a general methodological approach to the costs and benefits of mass international migration, as well as analyses of the economic consequences of mass mnigration on India, the Republic of Korea, Austalia, New Zealand, and various nations in South America. The unique factors, both economic and non-economic, which impact on each nation's reaction to emigration and immigration are evaluated in detail.
