Abstract: In this paper we present a dynamic small open economy version of the standardneoclassical model of exogenous growth where we allow for international migration. We considerboth the case of perfect world capital markets and the case of imperfect capital markets andshow that local indeterminacy always arises independently of the capital market regime. Also,we show that the competitive equilibrium fails to reach the social optimum and that the onlypolicy capable of establishing the first best is tax capital earnings. Our analysis thus supportsthe view that all the policy actions that aim at restricting migration flows are always ineffective to achieve the first best.
