120 II. Visualizing Global Connectedness Migrants: Facts and Fears Migration is the longest-run people flow and this is where the advanced share of the world total is the smallest: people from rich countries are much less likely to move countries than people from poorer ones. This is, in fact, the one flow for which emerging economies’ share of world totals comes close to matching their share of world population. But unlike university students (which rank second-highest on the emerging share of the total), there is much less of a skew towards advanced economies: more emigrants from emerging economies go to other emerging economies than to advanced economies, despite particularly acute fears in the latter of being swamped by such flows. So the pattern is more mixed than for student flows, where people from emerging and advanced economies alike focus on advanced economy destinations. This pattern is indubitably due in large part to visa restrictions. But despite estimates that world GDP could as much as double if such restrictions were removed, that is simply unlikely to happen. 7 Such visa restrictions are doubtless part of the reason why nine of the top 10 flows are between neighbors that share a common border— even more marked than in the case of tourism. Part of the fear about immigration in some countries seems to be driven by people overestimating the actual depth of immigration in their countries. Survey respondents in the United States and Europe overestimated the share of their countries’ populations born abroad by as much as 2–3 times, and simply telling them the correct values cut the proportion believing their countries had too many immigrants by as much as half. This is another reminder of the problems that globaloney can create—and the potential that can be unlocked by dispelling it. 8 7 Bob Hamilton and John Whalley. ¨Efficiency and distributional implications of global restrictions on labour mobility: Calculations and policy implications.” Journal of Development Economics 14.1:61–75 (1984). 8 The German Marshall Fund of the United States. “Transatlantic Trends: Key Findings 2013.” (2013). http://trends.gmfus.org/files/2013/09/TTrends- 2013-Key-Findings-Report.pdf; The German Marshall Fund of the United States. “Transatlantic Trends: Mobility, Migration, and Integration.” (2014). http://trends.gmfus.org/files/2014/09/Trends_Immigration_2014_ web.pdf.
