Immigrazione
Abstract
In this paper I discuss the economic effects of immigration for destination countries, with a focus on labour market adjustments. First, I show the potential effects of immigration on the labour market in a stylized one-output model, and discuss some extensions. Then I focus on empirical estimations, critically presenting strengths and weaknesses of the empirical strategies that are commonly used in the literature. In the last part I review recent empirical evidence on the effects of immigration in Italy
