This work provides a detailed analysis of the phenomenon of return migration to the English-speaking Caribbean. Return migration has been studied primarily for the Hispanic Caribbean but little exists for the English-speaking region. The co-edited work brings together the scholarship of ten social scientists, many of them from the Caribbean, whose research is focused on the process. The phenomenon is discussed from several theoretical perspectives and includes indepth studies of Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, St Kitts and Nevis, Barbados, and St Lucia. It includes renowned scholars in the field such as Elizabeth Thomas-Hope, Margaret Byron and George Gmelch as well as younger scholars such as Frank Abernaty and Godfrey St Bernard.

Bibliography

This is a textbook designed for undergraduate and graduate students and is the result of the author's more than twenty years of involvement with econometrics as both teacher and researcher. It contains theory, problems and answers, many of which have already been tested extensively in classrooms and tutorials and then refined for the book. It includes the following topics: single equation regressions, dummy and limited dependent variable models, simultaneous equations models, dynamic regression models, unit roots, cointegration and error correction models, aggregation over time issues, forecasting and panel data models. The book does not attempt to duplicate the many standard econometrics books. Rather, it supplements them by focusing exclusively on theoretical and empirical exercises in a systematic way. In this respect, the book has four innovations. First, it develops theoretical exercises useful in interpreting empirical results. Second, the book contains essay questions related to important econometric issues. Third, at times it deals with questions with no clear cut answers. Fourth, its development of aggregation over time issues is almost unique in econometrics textbooks. Although much of the material has a Caribbean flavour, its rigorous and clear presentation will appeal to students and teachers worldwide.
