International Labour Migrations and the Pseudoconvergence of National Living Standards

Author

Listed:
  • HARRY CLARKE

Abstract

International labour immigrations between competitive economies promote divergence in international living standards though conventional per capita income measures suggest convergence. Observed convergence due to such immigrations is therefore a pseudoconvergence. Pseudoconvergence arises regardless of good and productive factor numbers but need not arise if competitive imperfections arise from increasing returns or sticky real wages.
