International Immigration And Mobility Across Sectors: An Exploration of Alternative Scenarios For Spain
Javier Ferri. Antonio G. Gómez-Plana. Joan Martín-Montaner
Abstract
This paper explores the economic effects of international immigration in
Spain by constructing a CGE model. We are mainly concerned about the
issue of labor mobility across sectors. In our simulations, we rst restrict
immigrants to work in a small set of industries receiving wages that are
below the native ones, a situation that we call the short run. Then, we
consider that immigrants can move freely among all the industries in the
economy earning wages on a par with local workers. This we call the long
run situation. The results suggest that short run economic performance can
be improved by choosing strategic sectors to receive immigrants. We also
nd evidence that the wage regime is an important parameter to explain the
impact both in the short and in the long run.
