Windfalls and Pitfalls: How Foreign Labor Strengthens Economic Resilience During Energy Transition 1: University of Lyon 2, France; 2: KAPSARC, Saudi Arabia; 3: University of Lorraine, France The energy transition necessitates exploring factors that enable energy-exporting countries to achieve carbon neutrality while maintaining economic stability. This paper examines whether international migration can serve as such a stabilizing factor. We develop a simple Dutch disease model to show that foreign labor mitigates exposure to fluctuations in energy export revenues by reducing the contraction of the non-energy tradable sector during windfall periods. This effect holds when accounting for remittances. Estimating a structural panel vector autoregressive model on GCC countries–positioned at the intersection of global energy markets and migration–we find empirical evidence consistent with our theoretical predictions. | |
