Abstract AR

تبحث هذه الورقة تأثير الهجرة الدولية على تطور نوعية المؤسسات في البلد الأصلي.

و تركز هذه الورقة على الفرق المحتمل في التأثير تبعا للحالة في بلد المقصد (أي المستعمر السابق، القوة الاقتصادية و القوة السياسية).

كما تبحث في ما إذا كان هذا التأثير يعتمد على نوعية المؤسسات في البلد المضيف.

فقد بينت النتائج إن الوضع القائم و نوعية المؤسسات في بلد المقصد هام جدا وفي حين أن مسألة الهجرة على مستعمرين سابقين ليس له أي تأثير على نوعية المؤسسات في البلد الأصلي فالهجرة إلى البلدان القوية اقتصاديا أو سياسيا لديها ردود فعل إيجابية على نوعية المؤسسات في البلد الأصلي.

Abstract EN

This paper examines the influence of international migration on the evolution of the quality of institutions in the home country.

It focuses on the potential difference in the impact depending on the status of the destination country (i.e.

former colonizer, economic power and political power).

It also examines whether the impact depends on the quality of institutions in the host country.

The results show that the status and the quality of institutions of the country of destination matter and that while emigration to former colonizers has no effect on the quality of institutions in the origin country, emigration to economically or politically powerful countries has a positive feedback on the quality of institutions in the home country.
