Abstract: The welfare calculus of migration of the recipient country is tackled at the level of macro- and of microeconomics, using the technical apparatus of the welfare economics of international trade. It turns out that - as opposed to the international-trade case - in order to exploit positive welfare effects accruing to an economy which opens its labour markets to immigrants, interventions are necessary. The design of migration policy has to take into account, among others, the degree of homogeneity of preference patterns as well as the functioning of regulated labour markets, and the strain on the national resource base.
