dc.description.abstractIn this thesis migration flows are related to wage inequality for the period 1960-2010. Bilateral migration flows are considered both from the perspective of the sending country and from the perspective of the receiving country. Wages are differentiated by three skill levels and nationality, facilitating an evaluation of the relationship between migration and inequality between and within countries. Countries are clustered into world-regions based on income and migration flows. Global relationships between migration and inequality were ambiguous, but on the level of world-regions distinct and clear effects of migration on wage growth were found: while inequality increases by migration flows between countries in the western world, migration often has a beneficial effect in lower income countries. The purpose of this thesis was to develop a new methodology in global historical development studies which takes into account distinct regional features, using modern computational techniques.en_US
