The 5^th Workshop on the Economics of Migration organised by LISER and the Centre for Population Change (CPC) was held on April 4^th & 5^th in Luxembourg.  In total, 27 PhD students and early-stage researchers (post-docs and assistant professors with less than 5 years of experience) were given the opportunity to share their work in a constructive environment, as well as to exchange the results of recent research in different fields of migration economics.

Over the two-day period, 14 presentations were given to the diverse group of participants stemming from twelve countries. Studies covered various topics such as: the effect of climate change on emigration; the role of firms in migrants' wage assimilation; the effect of citizenship policies on first and second generation immigrants; the link between commodity prices and immigration in Australia; the effect of an important local climatic shock on worker mobility in Parana, Brazil; etc.

LISER wishes to thank the organisers, Joël Machado, Michele Tuccio and Jackline Wahba and all those who participated in the workshop. Special thanks to the event keynote speakers: Prof. Michel Beine, Prof. Frédéric Docquier and Prof. Christina Gathmann.
