Methods for assessing the impact of temporary labour emigration.
The author analyzes temporary labor migration and its impact on economic development in developing countries.  "The paper presents four methods...namely partial sectoral analysis by regression computations, cost-benefit analysis, social accounting matrices, and computable general equilibrium models.  It considers their respective advantages for different ends, questions, and policy goals, and explains their data requirements."  A comment by Mohammad Afzal is included (pp. 1,237-9).
