Abstract: In this work the evolutionary dynamics of migratory behavior driven by imitation is studied. We show that, any migratory flow, driven by the imitation, can be modeled by a dynamic system, once the rules governing imitative behavior of the population, are established. The parameters characterizing the system are determined by the economic sitatuon in each country from which the migratory current is established, and may be changed from policy considerations and social conditions. These changes, in turn lead to changes in the dynamic system solutions that reflect the evolution of the migratory flow. We show that labor migration can modify the performance of the economies of both receiving countries and those where it starts, positively or negatively, depending on the prevailing characteristics. Finally, elements of economic policy designed to counteract possible negative effects migration are discussed. In particular consider the migrant stream established between Chile and Peru and their possible impact on their economies.
