International migration is a highly discussed topic, with its repercussions on economic growth, labour force, population’s age-distribution, and many others. While most of the literature focuses on how immigration affects economic growth, this paper aims to shed a light on emigration and its effects on the source countries. Using a two sets of panel data for Baltic and Nordic countries for the time frame between 1990 and 2017, the authors aim to find the relationship between immigration and economic growth, and emigration and economic growth. Regression outputs conclude a positive relationship between emigration and economic growth in the Nordics and a negative one with the Baltics. However, no significant relationship is found between immigration and real GDP. Based on the regression results, discussion on possible policies targeted to increase the positive externalities of migration is presented.
