| Title: | | Native Welfare Losses from High Skilled Immigration  |
| Authors: | | Kemnitz, Alexander |
| Issue Date: | | 2007 |
| Series/Report no.: | | Dresden discussion paper in economics 16/07 |
| Abstract: | | This paper explores the effects of high skilled immigration to a host country with unionized low skilled labor and an unemployment insurance scheme. We show that such immigration can create a negative immigration surplus due to adverse effects on low skilled employment, provided that the elasticity between high and low skilled labor is high as empirical evidence suggests. |
