Methodology
The discussion thus far has been about macro-micro theoretical approaches of international migration and its impacts on migrant-receiving countries. The topic has also become a source of conversation in the literature, by having academics who suggest arguments for and against respectively. Articles used in this review have also spoken about the way in which the evidence is gathered. Scholars have studied the topic of international migration for many years, whilst searching for relevant articles I have found that there are two broad trends of published literature on this topic, theoretical and empirical studies. Using theoretical literature and empirical evidence to support main themes, this paper presents well-structured and organized arguments. Therefore, this part considers the difficulty of researching such a complex topic and evaluates attempts that have been made so far.
For example, Taylor (2002) and Arango (2002) published theoretical articles, however, both articles used different research methods. Taylor’s (2002) study on the new economics of labour migration used literature review method which is a select …show more content…
(1993). The article on economic theory and international migration by Borjas (1989) involved an analysis and interpretation of primary research. The author collected primary data which involved studies that determine immigration flows, studies that show how immigrants adapt and studies that suggest what impact immigrants have on the host country. Thus, by using relevant information to his topic author interpreted what the primary research found on the economics of international migration topic. Furthermore, Masey et al. (1993) also published an empirical study. Academics used a number of the leading theories of international migration such as neoclassical economics, the new economics of migration, etc. to explain the initiation of international
