ACCINELLI, Elvio; SANCHEZ-CARRERA, Edgar  and  SALAS, Osvaldo. Imitation migration and economic growth: Case of Chile and Peru. Poblac.Desarro. [online]. 2017, vol.23, n.44, pp.72-85. ISSN 2076-054X.  https://doi.org/10.18004/pdfce/2076-054x/2017.023(44)072-085.

In this paper, it is shown that any migratory flow, imposed by the imitation of the like, can be modeled by a dynamic system, once the rules governing imitative behavior are established. The parameters that characterize this system are determined by the social and economic conditions existing in the countries between which it is established and can be modified from economic policy considerations. These modifications, in turn, will cause changes in the solutions of the dynamic system, which reflect the evolution of the migratory flow.

Keywords : social-welfare; behavior-of-migrants; evolutionary-games; theory-of-imitation; replicator-dynamics.
