Skills and the Pattern of Migration: The Role of Qualitative and Quantitative Restrictions on International Labor Mobility
构建了一个两国移民模型，研究定性和定量限制对国际劳动力流动的影响，分析能力与年龄如何影响移民的技能和年龄结构，以及移民政策变化对要素报酬的影响。
This paper develops a two-country model of international migration in an attempt to study the role of both qualitative and quantitative restrictions on international labor mobility. Individuals are distinguished in terms of their ability and age enabling the model to examine factors which influence the age and skill profile of those who migrate as well as the equilibrium flow of migrants and the pattern of factor rewards in the two economies. Effects of changes in certain parameters of the model are related to the nature of the immigration policy enforced by the host country. The role of emigration restrictions is also considered.
