Abstract: In this study, we follow up on recent analyses of ethnic variables' impact on performance, and explore an explanation through the migration channel. We hypothesize that redistributive ethnic conflicts lead to implementation of preferential policies, modelled as a taxation of ethnic minorities in favor of an indigenous group. Migration responds to inter-ethnic wage-gaps, in a relative-deprivation perspective. The model allows to analyze the migratory, productive and redistributive consequences of discrimination. Analysis of 'optimal' discrimination also provides a potential explanation for observed international differences in ethnic policies: which could result from different societal preferences or population structures by skills and ethnicity
