Treating migrants as interchangeable economic 'particles' misreads how migration actually happens: flows follow social networks, ties and local institutions, not only wage differentials. Policies or models that ignore network effects (family ties, recruitment, social capital) will systematically mispredict both scale and outcomes.
— If migration is understood as networked behavior rather than a pure labor‑market adjustment, immigration policy, labor forecasting, and economic modeling all need different tools and accountability metrics.
