“Knowing how and when to use computers is difficult, since we have only begun to witness their capabilities … This is perhaps the most exciting of times for designers. Digital technology is a great big unknown.”

The Interlinks of Technology-Trade-Migration

  Publicerad av Emanuel Sidea

Jan Hofmann and Marion König, at Deutsche Banks writes in “Technology boosts trade boosts migration”: … “to understand and forecast migration (and then population) patterns, we have to scrutinise the complete chain of cause and effect that interlinks technology, trade and migration.” …

“For those countries that badly need immigration e.g. owing to an ageing own workforce, trade openness should be a priority. Having said that, as more countries will become full-blown knowledge economies in the next decades, the old Ricardian notion of differences in technology (and thus labour productivity) driving migration could get a new meaning: differences in nations’ innovation capacity could take the lead in driving migrant flows. The countries with the most creative juices are likely be the next immigration magnets, rather than the old-school efficiency hunters.”
