摘要:Mobility of workers involves flows of labour, human capital and other production
factors and thus contributes to a more efficient allocation of resources.
Besides these effects on allocative efficiency, migrant flows affect relative
wages and also change the international and national distribution of skills and
thereby equality in the receiving society. This paper suggests that skilled
immigration promotes economic equality in advanced economies under standard
conditions. The context is theoretically explained in a core model and
empirically documented using unique data from the WIID database and OECD.
