Immigration Control & Long-Run Population WelfareGurgen AslanyanCharles University in Prague - CERGE-EI (Center for Economic Research and Graduate Education - Economics Institute) April 1, 2012 CERGE-EI Working Paper Series No. 453 Abstract: The current study assesses the effects of immigration control on the welfare of the current and future population of a host economy. A theoretical model of a small open economy populated with overlapping generations of heterogeneous agents is used to show that skill-favouring immigration policies are, under rather permissive conditions, welfare depriving for the overall population. However, the policy-setting generation is shown to benefit from immigration control, thus decreasing the welfare for the future population.
