8 GDP per capita There is no question that immigrants raise Gross Domestic Product (GDP). But it s not the total size of the pie that matters; it s the average size and how it s divided. Do immigrants raise GDP per capita? Who benefits from immigration? Who loses?

12 Theoretical Considerations
13 Constant Returns to Scale (CRS) y = f (z 1, z 2,..., z k ) CRS definition: if you double all the inputs (the z s), output (y) doubles Every year Canada admits roughly 1% of its population in new immigration Does this simply scale up the z s and y by 1.01? Then no change in GDP per capita. Is CRS a good approximation of reality?

18 Are Immigrants Different From Us? Do immigrants have a different mix of skills than the existing workforce? Substitute z s: immigrants tend to drive down wages of native-born workers with similar skills. Complementary z s: immigrants will raise the wages of native-born workers whose productivity benefits from immigrants skills. Countries gain most from scarce skills. Capital owners likely benefit most from immigration, particularly skilled migrants.

24 Wider effects Entrepreneurship: willingness to take risks may be a scarce skill that immigrants bring. Trade: immigrants may expand trade owing to superior knowledge of and preferential access to source-country market opportunities. Innovation: immigrants may raise productivity by generating new ideas

30 Cause of immigrant earnings deterioration? At least one-third (likely more) is due to source country shift away from Europe towards Asia (Aydemir and Skuterud 2005) But why does country of origin matter? Credential recognition issues (Conference Board of Canada) Educational quality (Sweetman 2004) Language and literacy skills (Ferrer, Green and Riddell 2006) Discrimination (Oreopoulos 2010)

68 Summary Overall, the CRS perspective is probably a good approximation. Deteriorating performance of new immigrants is concerning, but recent gains are reassuring, as is performance of subsequent generations. Need to distinguish what we want to be true and the evidence. A neutral effect is good news, given the revealed-preference gain to immigrants.
