Immigration and Welfare for the Host Economy with Imperfect Competition
研究在不完全竞争市场中,移民对东道国福利的影响。发现低技能移民可能降低福利,而高技能移民在特定要素密集度条件下能提升福利。

However, for an economy characterized by imperfect competition, immigration of unskilled workers can be welfare‐reducing. The entry of skilled workers is nevertheless welfare‐enhancing under a plausible factor‐intensity condition.
