Migration, Trade, and Human Development: Rethinking Global Inequalities

This conference will examine the complex relationship between migration, and economic and human development, paying special attention to:

• Migration, trade and international investment dynamics with an eye to explaining their impact on human development and global inequalities
• How migration and asylum-seeking affect inequalities in human capital and development, notably in skill levels, capital accumulation, health, and wealth generation (via financial and immaterial remittances) across sending and receiving countries and regions
• How migration and asylum-seeking affect and are affected by the environment-development nexus: understanding forced migration, human displacement, and migration-related inequalities across the natural and built-in environment
• How inequalities affect and are affected by migration and socio-political transformations (diaspora politics, state building, political and social remittances).

With speakers including:

• Flore Gubert, IRD, FMSH
• James F. Hollifield, Ora Nixon Arnold Professor of International Political Economy; Fellow, IEA, and Director, Tower Center, SMU
• Pia Orrenius, Senior Economist and Vice President, Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas
