Chapter 9 in Migration States and Welfare States: Why Is America Different from Europe?, 2014, pp 47-50 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract When union member states compete with each other, they admit a higher proportion of low-skilled migrants, and provide a more generous welfare state, than when they cooperate. However, when cooperating they admit smaller actual numbers of migrants overall—both highly skilled and low-skilled—than when they compete with each other.
