Abstract: Abstract This chapter surveys the evidence of the long-run effects of immigration on the destination economy. We specifically discuss the most recent literature on how immigration affects domestic migration by native workers, the demand for domestic production and, hence, domestic labor, the industrial mix, and producers’ choice of technology. Studies on how immigration affects product demand conclude that the broader long-term reactions to immigration imply that immigration is likely to have positive welfare effects and certainly no strong negative effects. However, evidence on other potential long-run adjustment responses is more complex.
