Hanson and McIntosh (J Econ Perspect 30:57–81, 2016) provide projections on the evolution of bilateral migration stocks up to 2050. Their main argument is that, because of a shifting geographical distribution of population growth, European countries will face a mounting (but heterogenous) migration pressure, while the migration pressure facing the United States will be reduced. We provide arguments suggesting that the future migration flows through the Mediterranean could be even larger, and more evenly distributed across European countries with respect to what Hanson and McIntosh (2016) predict.
