Intelligence, Economic Development, and the Fiscal Dynamics of Migration

Abstract

This paper explores critical dimensions of economic development by drawing insights from three scholarly works: "National Intelligence and Economic Growth: A Bayesian Update," "The Case for Colonialism" by Bruce Gilley (2017), and Joakim Ruist's (2019) study on "The Fiscal Lifetime Cost of Receiving Refugees." By examining the nuanced connections between intelligence, economic growth, colonial legacies, and refugee integration from an economics perspective, we aim to unravel the intricate relationships that underpin global socio-economic dynamics.
