The Economics of Immigration 2nd Edition by Cynthia Bansak

Exercise 10

Web exercise: Pick an OECD country that has data on inflows of foreign population available in the OECD International Migration Database (https://stats.oecd.org/viewhtml.aspx?datasetcode=MIG&lang=en) and data on real GDP per capita available from the World Bank (https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/NY.GDP.PCAP.PP.CD). Graph real GDP per capita and inflows in a scatter plot, with real GDP per capita on the horizontal axis, for as many data points as are available for both data series. Does the pattern of the data fit with the models discussed in this chapter?
