“…In origin countries, the benefits of migration comprise reduced unemployment and social spending, incomes from remittances and foreign direct investment. And as for receiving countries, foreign workers contribute to higher participation rates, an increased number of young workers, new income through taxes and social contributions (Mihi-Ramirez et al, 2018;Grossman & Stadelmann, 2012).…”

“…Productivity is crucial for the level of development (OECD, 2019a;Mihi-Ramirez et al, 2018), but its global growth has remained very limited. In fact, productivity growth for the Eurozone has declined from 2 % in the 1990s to less than 0.5 % today, and this is also the case in the United States and other developed economies (OECD, 2019a;Gordon, 2016;European Commission, 2014;Ark et al, 2008).…”

Productivity in Europe remains stagnant over a long period of time for several reasons: structural barriers hampering proper development and the diffusion of innovations; and also due to high structural unemployment. This puts a significant brake on growth and competitiveness. A high-potential alternative for improving productivity lies in increasing labour participation and the attraction/retention of talent as a result of European integration. Therefore, this study examines how economic growth is affected by labour productivity and the local and foreign workers' employment rates, as well as their level of achievement. Using the Durbin Spatial Model (DSM), we analyse OECD data from 13 European countries covering the period 2000-2017. Our results confirm, first of all, that there has been a positive convergence among European countries and that it is of considerable benefit for the growth of countries with different levels of development. In terms of labour productivity, it positively influences economic growth, especially for highly skilled local workers. Moreover, it is confirmed that increased participation has a statistically significant impact on each country's growth rate in the studied sample. In terms of educational levels, an increase in the number of workers with a high and medium level of education entails a growth that is also transferred to neighbouring countries. Also, these types of strategies serve to create conditions that allow for attracting and retaining talent in the long term, which also generates positive effects on growth itself, but also for neighbouring countries in the same area of integration.

“…The findings show that migration leads to a slight increase in wages for high-and medium-skilled workers with the highest immigration rates. Examining the contribution of migration to growth for Spain, Mihi-Ramírez et al (2016) found that the impact of migration on development level was small but positive. Bove and Elia (2017), It has been determined that immigrants living outside their countries of origin generally have a positive impact on real GDP per capita and that the impact of diversity is more consistent in developing countries.…”

Economic growth is typically accompanied by migration. Both factors are great important in the growth process. This study empirically examines the interaction between migration and economic conditions of the target country.In the period of 1990-2016, the panel data was analyzed by panel ARDL technique by using he annual data set in 19 OECD countries. Short and long term results were obtained. The long-term results show that migration flows contribute to the economic growth of host countries. Short-term results showed that migration flows had a negative impact on growth. On the other hand, as expected, in the long run, while the increases in employ 1 ment increase the GDP per capita, each increase in unemployment rate decreases GDP per capita. It is also possible to say that the migration is affected by the economic conditions of the host countries.
