An in-depth analysis of the key issues relating to international migration Foundations of Migration Economics explores the assimilation of immigrants, focusing on the earning changes of immigrants with a longer duration in the host economy; how immigrant networks and ethnic enclaves influence the labor market and linguistic adjustment of immigrants; determinants of language proficiency and to what extent pre-migration skills are effectively employed by the destination; and the effect of immigration on the earnings of earlier waves of immigrants and native-born workers.

About the Author
Barry R. Chiswick is a Professor of Economics and Professor of International Affairs at the George Washington University, Washington, D.C. He has published numerous scholarly books, research articles, book chapters, and op-ed newspaper articles. He has received numerous awards for his pioneering research in Labor Economics, with an emphasis on human capital, income distribution, the adjustment and impact on the host economy of immigration, the economics of language, and the human capital and labor market achievements of racial, ethnic, and religious minorities, among other topics. Professor Chiswick has had an impact on the public policy debate on international migration through his research, op-ed newspaper and magazine articles, his testimony before both houses of the U.S. Congress, his media interviews, and his consulting for various government agencies.
Benjamin Elsner is an Assistant Professor of Economics at University College Dublin. His main research lies at the intersection of labor economics, public economics and microeconometrics. While his earlier work mainly studied the economic impacts of migration, his current research agenda focuses on the determinants of people's investment in human capital and the impact of these investments on life outcomes such as health, educational attainment and success in the labor market. Before joining UCD, Elsner acted as a Senior Research Associate at IZA in Bonn, where he focused on migration and integration topics. He continues to serve as IZA Deputy Program Co-ordinator of the Labor Mobility program area. He is also a research fellow at the Centre for Research and Analysis of Migration (CReAM) and the Geary Institute for Public Policy.
