Is Control over Migrationan Asset? And If It Is,Who Can Make the Most of It?

  • 1. ROR icon University of Bern

Description

Migration is an asset. If you have the opportunity to migrate, you are better off than if you do not have it. This is why the control over a person’s migration is also an asset. Consequently, immigration law is – essentially – concerned with the distribution of control over migration. Immigration law could do a much better job of allocating this asset in a way that enhances wealth and wellbeing in society.
