ROLDAN DAVILA, Genoveva. Una aportación ignorada de la teoría neoclásica al estudio de la migración laboral. Migr. desarro [online]. 2012, vol.10, n.19, pp.61-91. ISSN 1870-7599.

The rearticulation of migratory processes and labor markets as a result of the global systemic crisis -a crisis of unclear duration and depth- demand we review heterogeneous theories and renew the debate on the various potential causes and triggers of international migration. At the same time, we must address the various classifications, knowledge and criticisms regarding each theory, particularly the one held to be the oldest and best known, as well as the doctrinal referent for contemporary immigration policies. I think the recovery of fundamental contributions by neoclassical structuralists (those commonly identified as representatives of macro and micro neoclassical theory) has been partial, ignoring a set of important contributions to the study of international labor migration without struc-tural specificity.
