Abstract:
In this paper, we study gains and losses that accrue to natives because of immigration. The
gain on the aggregated level is called the ‘immigration surplus’, which can be seen as
analogous to a consumer surplus. We derive changes in the earnings of native owners of
production factors by employing a stylized model with capital and two types of labour. We
claim that the changes in earnings are larger than reported by previous studies, and we
propose a new method to tally them up to the immigration surplus.
