 Immigration to the OECD Countries from Turkey in 1960-2010 Period: A Gravity Model ApproachGönül Dinçer Muratoğlu () and Yusuf Muratoğlu Bulletin of Economic Theory and Analysis, 2016, vol. 1, issue 1, 51-69 Abstract: For several decades international migration is one of the most important issues of the global agenda which causes significant economic and social changes in both source countries and host countries of migration. The economic reasons of international migration can be analyzed with the Gravity Model effectively and elaborately. The Gravity Model is a useful model of international trade which is also being applied in migration analyses lately. In this study, we analyze the immigration to the 20 OECD countries from Turkey over the 1960-2010 period with an augmented Gravity Model. Results indicate that there is a positive correlation between the immigration from Turkey and GDP increases in OECD countries. Rising of Turkey’s GDP negatively effects the immigration to OECD countries while rising of Turkey’s population positively effects the immigration to OECD countries. The previous immigrant stock of OECD countries has a positive effect on immigration while geographical distance has a negative effect on it.
