Chapter Chapter 16 in The Economics of Immigration, 2009, pp 415-428 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This book’s survey of what economists have written about immigration concludes that neither the theoretical models nor their supporting evidence provide accurate information on which to base efficient immigration policies. To develop more accurate models and more accurately test those models, economists \must take a broader, holistic view of immigration. Immigration is a complex and dynamic process that cannot be captured in a partial equilibrium static model. Even with a better understanding of the economics of immigration, however, it is not clear that policymakers will embrace more efficient internationally-coordinated immigration policies.
