title: International migration, non-traded goods and economic welfare in the source country.
abstract: "This paper examines the economic effects of emigration in a source country producing both traded and non-traded commodities.  It is shown that, even if the economy faces fixed terms of trade, emigration can still affect the welfare of the non-migrants, and the direction of the effect in this context will always be negative."  The focus is on migration from developing countries.
