Abstract: Abstract In this paper, Frank Barry provides an interesting perspective on models that are used to study international migration, an analysis that is motivated by the migration experience of Ireland in the century and a half since the famine. There are essentially three themes in the paper: an interpretation of migration and labour markets in Ireland, a critique of the Harris-Todaro model as an analytical framework, and a new model that focuses on infrastructure and governance. I will comment on each in turn.
