Abstract

This paper applies the well-known gravity model to empirically assess the linkage between emigration and export flows of a developing country. Econometric analysis of panel data unveils a significant substituting relationship between export flows from the source country and stock of emigrants to the destination country. This result not only contradicts with existing literature but also justifies manifold relationship between goods and manpower exports. Economic policy as well as foreign policy in Bangladesh must address this inherent relationship between export of goods and labor since emigration of unskilled labor largely depends on bilateral diplomatic relations whereas export patterns depend on comparative cost advantage.

移民和出口流动之间的联系:以孟加拉国为例
本文运用著名的引力模型对发展中国家移民与出口流动之间的联系进行实证评估。面板数据的计量经济学分析揭示了来源国出口流量与目的地国移民存量之间的重要替代关系。这一结果不仅与现有文献相矛盾,而且证明了商品与人力输出之间的多重关系。孟加拉国的经济政策和外交政策必须处理货物出口和劳工之间的这种内在关系,因为非熟练劳工的移徙在很大程度上取决于双边外交关系,而出口模式则取决于相对成本优势。
