Abstract:
Within the specialised literature are found an impressive number of models for studying migration/mobility of labour force both at national and international level. Several of them give a description of either international migration compared to the domestic one, or of the inter-regional migration from Europe or other areas of the world. Among the multiple analysis methods and techniques for studying migration/mobility of labour force are counted: the Markov Chains method, the Harris-Todaro Model with its variants and extensions, the models for studying the economic impact of labour force mobility in an enlarged Europe, the models for studying the mobility of researchers, the models for studying labour force mobility by wages’ flexibility, the models for characterising the impact of labour force mobility on some macroeconomic indicators and others. From the multitude of the models used within the specialised literature for studying the migration phenomenon, in this paper are presented the outcomes of applying the gravity model for the study of Romanian emigration
