The Financial Times cited a GLM|LIC Synthesis Paper in an article about EU policies, foreign aids and migration. The study dismantles the myth that by addressing the “root causes” of migration, high-income countries could deter future migration from low-income countries. Instead, authors Michael Clemens (CGD and IZA) and Hannah Postel (Princeton University) show that foreign aids have limited, if any, effects on deterring emigration.
