A major new research project<\/a> launched this spring aims to create a framework for predicting the future effects of migration on labor supply in the European Union, notably by analyzing how different cultural factors affect the labor decisions of migrants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Funded by the French National Research Agency, ANR, the international team of researchers*, led by Professor Simone Moriconi, an economist from I\u00c9SEG School of Management in France, have outlined three key tasks for the four-year project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Firstly, they will carry out an analysis of different potential migration policy scenarios in Europe. Then, they plan to use established empirical approaches to map the most important cultural values and preferences (many of them related to family behaviors) across different generations\/cultures. The objective of this is to study the factors that determine the decisions made by migrants and natives in relation to the labor market and employment, and how these decisions interact. Finally, they will look to develop a quantitative theory that can be used to predict the impact of migration on labor supply, and which is based on a model that will incorporate cultural differences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
