Migration State and Welfare State: Competition vs. Coordination in Economic Unions

Assaf Razin

No 116, 2016 Meeting Papers from Society for Economic Dynamics

Abstract: Within a standard general equilibrium political economy model the paper analyzes how redistribution policies and migration policies are determined with an economic union. The competition among member states leads to over generosity of the welfare state and unskilled biased migration, relative to the same economic union under coordination. Application to EU and the US is suggested.
