abstract = {This paper outlines a set of economic criteria to assess an immigrant receiving country?s
immigration policy from three perspectives. These three perspectives include the resident
population, the immigrant and the sending country viewpoints. An expanded version of Julian
Simon?s financial transfer model which includes employment and capital externalities is
developed to assess the efficacy of an immigration policy from the resident?s viewpoint.
Next, Chiswick?s earnings ?catch-up? model is expanded in an employment dimension to
create an assessment criterion for the resident immigrant population. Finally, a
comprehensive reverse transfer criterion is outlined to provide an assessment criterion for
sending regions. These criteria are then applied to European and North America immigrant
receiving countries.},
