THE PAKISTAN DEVELOPMENT REVIEW
Labour Migration and Shadow Prices
Author: Henry J. Bruton
The effect of migration and home remittances on the shadow prices of labour and foreign exchange is analysed here , taking into consideration changes in their social marginal productivities. It is argued that appreciation of currency, due to large capital inflows and not to increased productivity, results in a misallocation of resources, and, therefore, there is an urgent need for a proper analysis to determine the optimal level of emigrants.
