Abstract

This paper introduces a new set of comprehensive and cross-country-comparable indexes of migration policy selectivity. Crucially, these reflect the multidimensional nature of the differential treatment of migrants. We use these indexes to study the evolution of migration policy selectivity and estimate how they affect migration flows. Combining all publicly available and relevant data since WWII, we build three composite indexes that identify selectivity in terms of skills, economic resources and nationality. First, we use these to characterize migration policies in 42 countries between 1990 and 2014. Second, we examine the relationship between the selectivity of migration policy and migration flows. Each of the three dimensions of migration policy is found to correlate strongly and significantly with both the size and structure of migration flows.

只选择最优秀和最聪明的人？对移民政策选择性及其有效性的评估

本文介绍了一套新的综合性跨国可比移民政策选择性指数。最重要的是，这些指数反映了移民差别待遇的多维性。我们利用这些指数来研究移民政策选择性的演变，并估计它们如何影响移民流。综合二战以来所有可公开获得的相关数据，我们建立了三个综合指数，分别从技能、经济资源和国籍方面来识别选择性。首先，我们利用这些指数来描述 1990 年至 2014 年间 42 个国家的移民政策。其次，我们研究了移民政策的选择性与移民流之间的关系。我们发现，移民政策的三个维度中的每一个都与移民流的规模和结构密切相关。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
