We thank Youngflesh and Lynch (1) for their thoughtful comments on our paper (2). As they note, we should have mentioned immigration and emigration alongside the intrinsic population properties (e.g., population birth rate, mortality, and age at maturity) and extrinsic causes of black-swan events (e.g., extreme climate, disease, predation, competition, exploitation, and habitat destruction). Af...

While the politics of immigration in destination countries has been a prominent topic research comparative political science Europe, same does not apply to emigration and perspective peripherical EU countries. This is true even though flows people moving from east west south north pose potentially significant challenges ‘sending countries’ Europe. article sets up agenda aimed at contributing re...

This paper considers how post-1950s Irish developmentalism fostered the economic, social and political acceptance of large-scale immigration following EU enlargement in 2004. It argues that economic imperatives alone cannot account for the national interest case for largescale immigration that prevailed in 2004. It examines the “rules of belonging” deemed to pertain to citizens and immigrants w...

In this paper, we identify and quantify the role of international migration in the propagation of HIV across sub-Saharan African countries. We use panel data on bilateral migration flows and HIV prevalence rates covering 44 countries after 1990. Controlling for unobserved heterogeneity, reverse causality, reflection issues, incorrect treatment of country fixed effects and spatial autocorrelatio...

This article traces the migration patterns of the Russian-Germans across international borders from their initial settlement in the Russian Empire starting in 1763 up to the present day. In particular it analyses the reasons behind these migration flows. Both push and pull factors motivated the immigration of ethnic Germans to the Russian Empire in the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. ...

I studied the life history of Striped Newts (Notophthalmus perstriatus) at a breeding pond in north-central Florida. Newts were captured in pitfall traps at a drift-fence as they migrated into and out of the pond basin. During the 2-year study, I recorded 10,290 captures (8,127 individuals) of newts at the drift-fence. Newts were active during each month of the study, but there were four peak a...

1. Some empirical and theoretical studies suggest that more mobile species are less at risk in human-altered landscapes, while others suggest the opposite. 2. We propose three novel hypotheses to explain these contradictory findings: (i) extinction risk increases with increasing mobility when mobility is measured as emigration, but decreases with increasing mobility when mobility is measured as...

In this paper, we simulate the long-run effects of migrant flows on wages of high-skilled and low-skilled non-migrants in a set of countries using an aggregate model of national economies. New in this literature we calculate the wage effect of emigration as well as immigration. We focus on Europe and compare the outcomes for large Western European countries with those of other key destination c...
