ECON 269 - Economics of International Migration

Cross-Listed as LATI 269  and INTL 269  
This course will examine the global movement of people through an economic lens. The course will study the impact that emigration has on the economy of the home country, such as brain drain and population change, the historic role that migration has played in economic development, and finally the effect that immigration has on immigrant-receiving countries. The various economic issues in the current immigration debate in the United States will be analyzed including the economic assimilation of immigrants, and the impact of immigration on native born workers. This course counts as a Group A elective and serves as a prerequisite for ECON 361 . Every other spring. (4 Credits)
