Resum

Trade and factor movements are increasing in importance as the world is becoming more and more globalized. In this paper we provide a brief survey of some of the most important studies which, through using the gravity equation and adding additional complexities of interest, have tested the link between trade and labour mobility. Since the seminal paper of Gould (1994), the empirical literature shows that there is a positive linkage between migration and trade and that labour mobility has a pro-trade effect. Concretely, this is enhanced and magnified through two different channels, the transaction cost reduction channel and the preference channel. Also another factors can influence in the bilateral trade between host and home countries of immigrant people, as: networks (co-ethnics and business groups), a common language or colonial tie, and the proximity.
