The articles included in this Proceedings were presented at the conference “Migration, Trade, and Development,” held at the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas on October 6, 2006. The conference was hosted by the Dallas Fed and Southern Methodist University’s Tower Center for Political Studies and Department of Economics and sponsored in part by the Jno E. Owens Foundation.

We would like to thank a number of people who helped make this conference possible, especially Richard W. Fisher, president of the Dallas Fed, and Harvey Rosenblum, the Bank’s executive vice president and director of research. We also thank Phil Martin and Catalina Amuedo-Dorantes for filling in at the last minute and doing such an excellent job.

Finally, we want to express our gratitude to the Jno E. Owens Foundation for its generous support. The foundation was established in 1953 by Jewell Montague Owens in memory of her husband, a prominent Texas banker. During his lifetime, Mr. Owens was intensely interested in international economics, and it was his wish to establish a foundation that would memorialize his lifelong interest in international relations and his commitment to free trade.
