Zusammenfassung:pt. I. Introducing the immigrant-trade link -- pt. II. The effects of immigrants on international trade in goods and services -- pt. III.

This essential volume examines the influence of immigrants on the process of international economic integration--specifically, their influences on bilateral and multilateral trade flows. It extends beyond the identification and explanation of the immigrant-trade link and offers a more expansive treatment of the subject matter, making it the most comprehensive volume of its kind. The authors present abundant evidence that confirms the positive influences of immigrants on trade between their home and host countries; however the immigrant-trade link may not be universal. The operability of the link is found to depend on a variety of factors related to immigrants' home countries, their host countries, the types of goods and services being traded and the anthropogenic characteristics of the immigrants themselves
