title: Exporting labor:  the impact of expatriate workers on the home country.
abstract: The economic impact of emigration on the source country is analyzed through a literature review and a discussion of costs, benefits, and public policy implications.  It is noted that "information collected from different sources and settings is needed for cross-validation of assessments and conclusions.  Second....the cost/benefit analysis of emigration should be undertaken on a case by case basis.  Third...these costs and benefits must be assessed in a long-term framework that considers the socio-economic conditions and the goals of the country....Fourth, effective governmental policies...need to recognize that emigrants generally are highly motivated people [who] are adept at overcoming legal or other obstacles in their path."
