Abstract

In this study, which was developed to examine the determinants of international migration, the validity of the Neo – Classical migration approach, which claims that the main determinant of the migration decision is economic factors, was tested and the relations between the variables were investigated taking into account various economic indicators as well as terrorist incidents. The study was developed within the scope of the 20 countries that receive the most immigrants in the world, and the migration movements from the countries that give the most immigrants to each immigrant receiving country were examined with the Poisson Pseudo Maximum Likelihood Estimator using the five – year data for the period 1995 – 2020 within the framework of the multidimensional panel gravity model. The findings show that the income level in the destination countries negatively affects the migration movements, while the terrorist attacks in the origin countries and the inflation rate of the origin countries affects it positively. In addition, it was determined that the income level and unemployment rate of the origin countries are not statistically significant. In parallel with the findings, it was concluded that the Neo – Classical migration theory is not valid for the countries covered in the research and that the security factor is more important in the migration decision.
