Abstract

We explore the impact of institutional factors on bilateral migration among the EU, CIS, and the US by applying the gravity model of migration. We employ instrumental variables methodology (IV-PPML, IV-GMM) and a non-linear estimation approach (NLS) to test our assumptions about the spurring effect of institutional indicators on migration. Empirical results demonstrate a significantly positive effect of economic development and legislative system on migration flows in the sample countries. However, we find that government regulation and political stability decrease migration. We also find that Russia attracts CIS migrants due to cultural and institutional reasons, while the EU and the US accommodate migration due to economic reasons. The crucial role of institutional development as a determinant of international migration is often overlooked in contemporary literature. We generate new insight into the contribution of control for corruption and law, governmental regulation, political stability and democracy, and ease of doing business to migration. Based on the results, we provide some policy implications.

制度因素对双边移民的影响:重力方法
本文运用移民引力模型探讨了制度因素对欧盟、独联体和美国之间双边移民的影响。我们采用工具变量方法(IV-PPML, IV-GMM)和非线性估计方法(NLS)来检验我们关于制度指标对移民刺激作用的假设。实证结果表明,经济发展和立法制度对样本国家的移民流动具有显著的正向影响。然而,我们发现政府监管和政治稳定会减少移民。我们还发现,俄罗斯吸引独联体移民是由于文化和制度原因,而欧盟和美国接纳移民是由于经济原因。在当代文学中,制度发展作为国际移民决定因素的关键作用往往被忽视。我们对控制腐败和法律、政府监管、政治稳定和民主以及营商便利对移民的贡献产生了新的见解。在此基础上,提出了一些政策启示。
