About the event
When international migrant incomes improve, what are the consequences for global income (from international and domestic sources) in migrant-origin economies? Guided by a theoretical model and using novel data, we study long-run equilibrium effects of migrant income shocks on Philippine provinces’ global income. Impacts of positive shocks to migrant income magnify over time as education levels rise, migration increases, and migrants enter higher skilled, higher-wage jobs. Higher migrant income also causes higher domestic income, primarily from household entrepreneurship. Domestic income gains account for 75% of global income gains. Education investments explain, respectively, 42% and 18% of migrant and domestic income gains.
