Description: "This volume takes a critical look at the current divide over immigration policies.

It hopes to shed new light on the debate by bringing together papers that investigate the link between trade and factor mobility, particularly labour migration, from theoretical and empirical perspectives.

It examines the substitutability between trade and migration, the impact of regional integration on the location of economic activity, the role of public-good provisions, and the political economy of migration."--Jacket.
Notes: "Papers presented at a conference on 'Trade and factor mobility', held in Venice on 24-25 January 1997"--Frwd
