Trade liberalisation and the skill composition of migrant flows: the case of Morocco

Equilibrium Modeling for Environmental Science: Exploring the Nexus of Economic Systems and Environmental Change

“…Recent work indicates progress toward the development of more sophisticated long-term baseline scenarios such as the SSPs within CGE models (Ho et al, 2020). In terms of labor, while the proportion of models with an extended labor factor nest exceeded that of capital and land, only 7 dynamic CGE studies included a distinction other than skilled/unskilled (e.g., Karam, 2011) and no study dynamically incorporated change in demographic traits (e.g., age, gender, educational attainment) at the global scale. Labor disaggregation beyond the skilled/unskilled distinction is limited primarily by a lack of sufficient data to estimate the degree of substitutability between more granular demographic categories (e.g., male/female) and therefore most global models assume perfect substitutability (Boeters & Savard, 2011).…”

“…Par exemple, selon de melo et Faini (1995), la libéralisation du commerce au maroc favorise la création d'emplois, ce qui décourage l'émigration, même à court terme, en stimulant les exportations à forte intensité de main-d'oeuvre et la demande de main-d'oeuvre. Pour Karam (2011), un accord de libre-échange avec l'union européenne et une libéralisation plus multilatérale des échanges réduiraient les flux migratoires qualifiés et non qualifiés du maroc, en particulier dans le cas d'une libéralisation plus multilatérale des échanges.…”
