title: The impact of labor migration on the Jordanian economy.
abstract: "This article considers the effects of labor migration on the economy of the East Bank of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan.  The article is presented in two sections.  The first attempts to quantify the external migrant flows which impinge on the Jordanian labor market.  The second section presents a theoretical model of the macroeconomic impact on output and employment of flows of migrants and migrants' remittances and an empirical analysis of the effects on the agricultural and construction sectors."
