Permanent Migrants and Cross‐Border Workers: The Effects on the Host Country
研究移民对东道国相对价格、工资和租金的影响,发现外国工人流入提高本地居民福利,且非贸易品资本密集度决定永久移民与跨境工人福利效应的差异。
Using a two‐factor, two‐good model, where only one of the goods is nontraded, I investigate the effects of immigration on the relative price of the two goods, the wage rate, and the rental price. I also demonstrate that the inflow of foreign workers gives rise to an increase in the welfare of the native inhabitants in the host country, and if the nontraded good is capital (labor) intensive, the inflow of permanent migrants is of more (less) benefit to the native inhabitants than the inflow of cross‐border workers.
