Resumen
Descripción
Migration is an important yet neglected
determinant of institutions. This paper documents the
channels through which emigration affects home country
institutions and considers dynamic-panel regressions for a
large sample of developing countries. The authors find that
emigration and human capital both increase democracy and
economic freedom. This implies that unskilled (skilled)
emigration has a positive (ambiguous) impact on
institutional quality. Simulations show an impact of skilled
emigration that is generally positive, significant for a few
countries and for many countries once incentive effects of
emigration on human capital formation are accounted for.
