abstract = {By means of a descriptive survey of theoretical literature the paper first works out the
potential determinants that may drive international migration from developing to
developed countries. Furthermore, we look on the relationship between trade,
development and migration. Empirical studies focusing on international migration
from LDCs so far are very scarce. The paper utilizes a new dataset that is based on
migration from 86 African and Asian countries to Germany. Information is available
on overall moves (1981-1995) and asylum migration (1984-1995). The estimation
results confirm the importance of the economic differential between countries for
migration, the existence of an inverse u-shaped relationship between development
and migration, as well as the importance of the political situation in sending countries
and of network effects.},
