本文使用了一套独特的新指标，使我们能够测试文化障碍对经合组织国家之间移民的影响。利用 1990 年至 2003 年期间 22 个经合组织国家之间的移民流动数据，我们发现了强有力的证据，证明文化差异对国际移民流动产生负面影响。文化障碍比收入和失业差异等传统经济变量更能解释发达国家之间的移民流动模式。
This paper uses a unique set of new indicators enabling us to test the effects of cultural barriers on migration between OECD countries. Using data on migration flows between 22 OECD countries over the period 1990-2003, we find strong evidence for the negative effect of cultural differences on international migration flows. Cultural barriers do a much better job in explaining the pattern of migration flows between developed countries than traditional economic variables such as income and unemployment differentials.
