AB We sort out confounding factors in the empirical link between bilateral migration and trade. Using newly available panel data on developing countries? diaspora to rich OECD nations in a theory-grounded gravity model, we uncover a robust, causal pro-trade effect. Moreover, we do not find evidence in favor of strong differences across education groups.
