TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present empirical evidence on immigration flows into the OECD countries during the period 1990-2000 and find that network effects are strong, but vary between different groups of welfare states and between countries according to the type of immigration policy being applied.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared income inequality and income mobility in the Scandinavian countries and the United States during 1980-90 and found that the distribution of first differences of relative earnings and income in the two countries was similar, and that the proportionate reduction in inequality from extending the accounting period of income is much the same.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared income inequality and income mobility in the Scandinavian countries and the United States during 1980-90 and found evidence of greater dispersion of first differences of relative earnings and income.

TL;DR: In this paper, a discussion of the theoretical approaches to return migration and a brief survey of the actual flows in Denmark is presented, which suggests that policy instruments such as education, training, and temporary wage subsidies could play an important role in controlling the interaction between immigration and labour market forces.
