Vincenzo Bove has recently published a column titled "Diversity and Economic Development" on VoxEU.org.

The column explores evidence on how immigration affected economic development between 1960 and 2013 through its effect on the cultural and ethnic composition of the destination country. Cultural heterogeneity appears to have had a positive impact on economic development, and the positive effect of diversity seems to have been stronger in developing countries.

VoxEU is the Centre for Economic Policy Research's policy portal and promotes "research-based policy analysis and commentary by leading economists."
