Abstract [en]

The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between economic variables and the net migration that has occurred to the EU member countries over the time period 1993-2013. The discussion tackles the subject in both directions since the theories and the result tells there's a two-way connection between the variables. In order to answer the questions as presented in the study different regressions are being conducted using the Least Square Dummy Variable model and a panel data set. The data material as used in the study was taken from The Quality of Government Institute (QOG) and includes information on economic variables which based on past research is likely to have an effect on net migration. The dependent variable used is net migration and the independent variables are GDP per Capita, income distribution (Gini coefficient), unemployment, working age population, trade and childbirth. The results of the regressions show that the variables GDP per Capita, trade and childbirth have a significant correlation with net migration where GDP per Capita affects positively and the other negatively. A better financial situation increases the possibility of effective integration, which according to Strömbäck (2015) is a key factor for a good socio-economic outcomes of immigration. The analysis section deals with additional context and make connections between previous studies and the results of the test conducted in this study.
