Reviews

'Mathias Czaika and Carlos Vargas-Silva have assembled an excellent collection of previously published articles on all aspects of the connections between migration and economic growth. As well, they provide an introduction that sets out the cross-connections between migration and economic growth, and provides and lead-in to the articles that follow in their compilation. An excellent place to start if one wanted to cover most of the important topics and researched areas in the overlap between migration and economic growth during the last fifty years.' -- Bill Marr, Canadian Studies in Population 'Czaika and Vargas-Silva have curated a collection of classic studies combined with a few lesser-known interesting pieces that together provide a must-read overview of the range of important topics linking migration with economic growth.' -- David McKenzie, The World Bank
