“…By using the Ordinary Least Squared (OLS) and generalized method of moments (GMM), Macková et al (2019) suggested the lagged migration, trade and gross domestic product (GDP) which have a positive relationship with the stock of migrants. Both Bang &MacDermot (2018), andMacková et al (2019) agreed the positive effects of the lagged migration/stock and the trade/FDI. But Bang & MacDermot (2018) showed the positive relationship with differences of the population, and Macková et al (2019) illustrated the negative effect of the population on the migration/stock.…”

“…In another aspect, considering macroeconomic elements, economic performance represented by GDP and other macro indicators, such as population and human capital usually suffers from the problem of endogeneity in empirical research (Bang & MacDermott, 2018;Figueiredo, Lima, & Orefice, 2016;and Macková, Harmáček, & Opršal, 2019). For instance, economic performance encourages children to go to school and citizens to be well educated (Carrington & Detragiache, 1998;Docquier & Marfouk, 2002;Macready & Tucker, 2011;Beine et al, 2014), and vice versa, a well-educated population or skilled labor fosters economic growth (Czaika & Parsons, 2017).…”

“…There are a number of motivations for migration among the gravity models, including the origin and destination country belonging to regional trade agreements, visa and asylum provision, distance, population, World Trade Organization membership, borders, colonial history and common language (Figueiredo et al, 2016). Bang &MacDermot (2018), andMacková et al (2019) discovered the a positive relationship between the trade or foreign trade investment (FDI) and migration.…”

This study utilizes the gravity model and various estimation methods such as OLS, FGLS, and GMM to analyze the effects of bilateral trade and other factors on migration flows in ASEAN countries. Specifically, the study examines the impacts of population, gross domestic product per capita, rule of law, human development index, and the contiguous border between two countries. The results indicate that bilateral trade and lagged migration flows have a positive effect on migration, while the population has a negative effect. The study finds that bilateral trade encourages more people to migrate from one country to another country and that migration flows display a high degree of persistence over time. Additionally, the study finds that contiguous borders also have a positive impact on migration. Furthermore, the study suggests that the size of the population's impact on migration flows may be increasing due to the surplus of labor in some areas and the lack of labor in others. Interestingly, the study also finds that higher levels of human development in the destination country may lead to a decrease in international migration flows, possibly due to the availability of better educational opportunities.

“…Несмотря на множество различных подходов, транснационализм подразумевает, что международные акторы попадают на национальный экономический уровень через определенные точки входа и создают связи между старыми и новыми юрисдикциями (Tedeschi, Vorobeva & Jahiainen, 2022). В данном случае зависимость между миграцией и инвестиционными потоками представляется очевидной, поскольку эмпирически доказано, что инвестиции, как правило, привлекают мигрантов (Bang & MacDermott, 2019). Кроме того, высококвалифицированная рабочая сила также является необходимым фактором для возникновения новых транснациональных связей, ведь мигранты (в частности квалифицированные) также могут привлекать инвестиции ввиду своей экономической деятельности (Cuados, Martín-Montaner & Paniagua, 2019), не говоря уже об очевидной взаимосвязи между миграцией и денежными переводами 1 .…”

This research examines how Russian cities can learn from leading European global cities in attracting foreign direct investment (FDI) and foreign labor migrants. It emphasizes the link between migration and investment flows in global cities specialized in specific services. Global cities play a crucial role in attracting transnational factors of economic growth, with migration being a significant factor. The study analyzes the potential benefits of migration to global cities, including increased trade and capital flows. This benefits both the countries of origin through remittances and the global cities themselves through FDI. European global cities, including London, Paris, Amsterdam, Stockholm, Madrid, Frankfurt, Vienna, Zurich, Dublin, and Berlin, are major centers attracting FDI and labor migrants. Each city has its own specialization and competitive advantages, contributing to the global division of labor. Building on previous research, the study analyzes the attracting factors identified by the City of London for FDI and foreign-born skilled personnel. It aims to identify applicable opportunities for Moscow and St. Petersburg, the leading Russian global cities. While Moscow and St. Petersburg are well-ranked, other Russian cities have limited recognition. The research plans to expand to other Russian global cities, contributing to a comprehensive understanding of global city development. The research explores how Russian cities can leverage the experiences of leading European global cities to attract FDI and foreign labor migrants. By doing so, Russian cities can foster economic growth and enhance their global standing.

“…This framework is popular for analysing economic phenomena relating to international trade, technological advancement, capital flows, and real estate investment flows (see ; McAllister & Nanda, 2016; Santos Silva & Tenreyro, 2006; and Yakop and van Bergeijk, 2011). This framework has also been used in recent studies to analyse migration trends (see Arif, 2020; Bang & MacDermott, 2019; Ramos & Suriñach, 2016; and White & Buehler, 2018). The model predicts that, ceteris paribus, two countries with larger population sizes and shorter distances may have more migration interactions than countries with a smaller population that are farther apart geographically, and this becomes the measure of the economic gravitational force for migration.…”

Migration is key to economic development, with varying implications and uneven impacts on origin and destination regions. This paper examines the variation in the major drivers of migration within and across continental blocs and the OECD in a gravity framework. The empirical model uses bilateral migration flow data for 182 countries over a 25 year period while controlling for push and pull drivers of migration. The novelty of the study rests in the added dimension of the variation in the impact of migration drivers that is based on the direction of migration flow. The results suggest that migration drivers vary significantly across several economic blocs based in different regions and OECD countries. We find that the weight and significance of the impact of migration drivers vary significantly based on the direction of flow across continental blocs and the OECD, although some similarities exist in some regions regardless of the direction of migration flow. The results specifically show that economic and socio-cultural drivers of migration are strongest when migration originates in continents dominated by developing countries and terminates in other continents, compared to migration that originates and terminates within the continents. This raises some anomalies and several issues of potential policy intervention.
