    Competing for talent: diffusion of an innovation in New Zealand's immigration policy
    (John Wiley & Sons, 2014) Bedford, R; Spoonley, P
    In 2003, New Zealand introduced a novel “expression of interest” (EOI) system for selecting skilled migrants. In 2012, Australia adopted a similar approach while the Canadian government is proposing to adopt a variant of the EOI system in 2015. From being a follower of Canadian and Australian immigration policy initiatives, New Zealand has become the innovator. This paper examines the reasons for this significant policy shift and reviews some outcomes of the EOI system during the first decade of operation. As the international competition for talent intensifies, such policy innovation is essential if countries are going to attract skilled migrants.

    Parents in New Zealand's family sponsorship policy: a preliminary assessment of the impact of the 2012 policy changes
    (Population Association of New Zealand, 2013) Bedford, R; Liu, L
    In July 2012 a radically different system for selecting parents under New Zealand’s policies relating to family sponsorship of immigrants came into operation. This paper assesses the impact of the new selection system on approvals for residence of parents from eight countries that together account for just over two-thirds of all parents admitted over the decade from July 2003 to June 2013. The policies that applied to admission of parents during that decade are reviewed, and have particular reference to the shift towards a stronger economic focus on the costs and benefits of a migration policy stream. The two-tier selection system creates two quite different sets of opportunities for family reunification amongst immigrants in New Zealandwhich are determined primarily by wealth of parents and sponsors. A possible long-term unintended consequence of these different sets of opportunities is the emergence of two classes of New Zealand citizens: those who will have an opportunity to have their parents living in New Zealand and those who will not have this opportunity for many years, if ever, because of the way the selection system works.
