| Abstract: | This article investigates the impact of a liberal migration policy that increases
labour quotas by 5% on wages and income of residents, native migrants, and
new migrants. The article focuses on the impact of migration in 21 areas, with
particular attention given to Slovakia and Germany. It is based on data collected
from the Global Trade Analysis Project database and the experimental design
by Walmsley, Ahmed, and Parsons, with adjustments to capture current global
migration flows. The findings indicate that the immigration of new unskilled
workers negatively impacts the real wages of unskilled residents, decreasing
them by almost 3%, while the arrival of skilled workers increases them by
0.73%. Similarly, the real wages of skilled residents decrease by 2.62% due
to the arrival of new skilled migrants, while unskilled migration results in its
increase by 0.53%. These findings can aid policymakers in developing policies
that maximize the benefits of migration. This research provides new insights
into the wage effects of migration in different areas, focusing on Germany
and Slovakia. |
