Permanent migrants and cross-border workers: the effects on the host country

Article Abstract:

The impact of immigration on the relative price of two goods, namely the wage rate and the rental price, is analyzed by employing a two-factor, two-good model in which only one of the goods is nontraded. Further, it is shown that the inflow of foreign workers results in an increase in the welfare of the native inhabitants in the host country. Also, it is demonstrated that if the nontraded good is capital or labor intensive, the inflow of permanent migrants is of more or less benefit to the native inhabitants than the inflow of cross-border workers.

The pattern of migration with variable migration cost

Article Abstract:

Migrant networks play a cost-reduction role in the increasing trend of out-migration. These networks provide not only initial monetary assistance for settlement and job search. Propensity to migrate can be influenced by benefit enhancement and cost reduction attributed to networks. The stronger the network is in a region, the more preference there is for out-migration.
