Summary
International flows of people are a distinctive trait of our contemporary globalized world, as much as are international flows of goods, services, and ideas. Differently from the latter, however, migration faces a fierce opposition in most destination countries (Hatton and Williamson, 2005; Mayda, 2008). One reason for this may be that natives and immigrants compete for the same jobs and welfare programs.
