The impact of international migration on real wages:  another look.
"This paper examines the issue of how emigration alters real wages in the source country.  The analysis is carried out first using the two-class framework developed by Rivera-Batiz (1984) and then by means of a simple model of scale economies and imperfect competition.  Our results indicate that, within these contexts, real wages are likely to decline in response to emigration if (1) the migrants possess a large fraction of physical or human capital that they take with them when migration occurs, or (2) emigration reduces the scale of operation of domestic firms.  Our conclusions are compared to those of Quibria (1989)."
