title: International migration and welfare in the source country.
abstract: "In a recent paper, Rivera-Batiz (1982) points out that the economic effects of migration should be studied in the presence of non-traded goods in the source country.... We will show that Rivera-Batiz's explanations do not consider all the aspects of ownership and transfer of inputs by migrants.  Consequently, we will show that if...additional issues are taken into account, the non-migrants can turn out to be actually better off as a result of emigration."
