5 Stylized Facts and Motivation Increasing immigration is considered detrimental for the destination economies, whereas emigration is often disregarded. Although, the legal barriers for migration between many OECD countries are huge.
6 Stylized Facts and Motivation Increasing immigration is considered detrimental for the destination economies, whereas emigration is often disregarded. Although, the legal barriers for migration between many OECD countries are huge. Liberalization of trade is generally perceived as welfare enhancing. Consequently, tariff barriers for trade between the OECD countries are rather small, however non-tariff barriers are non-negligible. Both liberalization of migration and trade between developed countries are intensively discussed nowadays. For example: the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (EU and US) and the EU - TUR negotiations.

Although, the legal barriers for migration between many OECD countries are huge. Liberalization of trade is generally perceived as welfare enhancing. Consequently, tariff barriers for trade between the OECD countries are rather small, however non-tariff barriers are non-negligible. Both liberalization of migration and trade between developed countries are intensively discussed nowadays. For example: the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (EU and US) and the EU - TUR negotiations.
10 The Research Questions The question: What are the economic consequences for the natives in OECD of liberalizing both migration and trade in the OECD?
11 The Research Questions The question: What are the economic consequences for the natives in OECD of liberalizing both migration and trade in the OECD? 1 Winners/losers of liberalization: comparison between countries and between education levels. 2 The consequences of local agreements: EU-US and EU-TUR. 3 The relations between migration and trade: (substitutability versus complementarity).
12 The Research Questions The question: What are the economic consequences for the natives in OECD of liberalizing both migration and trade in the OECD? 1 Winners/losers of liberalization: comparison between countries and between education levels. 2 The consequences of local agreements: EU-US and EU-TUR. 3 The relations between migration and trade: (substitutability versus complementarity). The methodology: Results of counterfactual simulations of a multi-country GE model.
13 The Previous Estimations of Gains from Liberalization Global gains from liberalizing trade: estimated at the level of: 0.3% 5.2%, i.e. Anderson et al. 2000, 2006, Bouet 2008, Broda, Weinstein 2006, Francois et al. 2005, Hertel, Keeney 2005, Lai, Trefler Trade liberalization between EU-US: CEPR: 1.5% 2%. Ecorys: 0.3% 0.5%.

Ecorys: 0.3% 0.5%. Migration liberalization (world): extremely optimistic welfare gains: 67% Iregui 2005 to 122% Klein, Ventura (2007) or 147% Hamilton, Whalley Docquier, Machado, Sekkat 2012, Docquier, Delogu, Machado 2013: 2% 10% in terms of real GDP. di Giovanni, Levchenko and Ortega: the welfare impact of migration is 5% 10%.
15 Key Results in a Nutshell The main findings: Total gains from liberalizing migration: 2.0%, but: huge between-country disproportions in distribution. Total gains from liberalizing trade: 1.5%, but: gains are larger for the less integrated economies. In the EU-US and EU-TUR cases: the sending countries encounter losses (up to 6%), the receiving countries gain noticeably (almost 2.5%).
16 The Layout of the Model A multi-country, general equilibrium model assuming: homogeneous firms, heterogeneous labor, endogenous trade (exogenous shocks on bilateral trade costs), endogenous migration (exogenous shocks on bilateral migration costs).
17 The Layout of the Model A multi-country, general equilibrium model assuming: homogeneous firms, heterogeneous labor, endogenous trade (exogenous shocks on bilateral trade costs), endogenous migration (exogenous shocks on bilateral migration costs). The Value Added: Liberalize migration with endogenous trade. Liberalize trade with endogenous migration. Concentrate on the currently discussed local agreements. Analyze the migration vs trade relations in a GE framework.
18 Assumptions Environment N countries indexed by i {1, 2,..., N}. Total, efficient labor endowment in country i: L T i. Labor is the only input for production.

Individuals Inelastically supply one unit of labor. Gain utility from consuming different varieties of goods. Are of type: native low-skilled, native high-skilled, foreign low-skilled, foreign high-skilled.

22 Endogenous Migration Agents reach the decision to emigrate by comparing the real wages net the bilateral migration costs.
23 Endogenous Migration Agents reach the decision to emigrate by comparing the real wages net the bilateral migration costs. The agent s utility is a sum of two components: the deterministic one and the stochastic one (RUM), which results in heterogeneous preferences towards migration. U t ij = α ln [ ] w t ij ( ) 1 c t P ij + ε ij, t {l, h}. (2) i Migration cost: c t ij ( ; 1) and: j ct jj = 0. ε ij Gumbel(0;µ) (Extreme Value Type I Distribution).
24 Endogenous Migration Applying the McFadden s Theorem (1984) we get that: the probability of emigration of a person of skill t born in country j to country i is equal: [ πij t = Pr Uij t ( ) ] = max U t kj = k N ( ) exp Uij t ( N k=1 exp Ukj t ). (3)

(3) Labeling the number of people of skill t born in j, who live in country i by Mij t, we obtain: ( Mij t w t Mjj t = i /P i ( ) ) α/µ 1 c t wj t/p ij. (4) j
26 Firms In country i, there is a mass B i of homogeneous firms producing differentiated varieties of the consumption good. The firms production function is linear in labor: y i (k) = A i lt i (k). (5)

(5) The efficient labor composite is a nested CES with an imperfect substitution between low/high skilled as well as domestic/foreign workers: l T i (k) = ( θ H i ( l h i (k)) σ S 1 σ S + ( 1 θ H i ) ( l l i(k)) σ S 1 σ S ) σs σ S 1.

The TFP is exogenous and calibrated numerically.

However, there are barriers to entry, so that the profit is equal to zero, which leads to the market size equation: B i = L T i ɛf i. (6)

Fixed cost: an unweighted synthetic indicator of three variables from Doing Business by the World Bank. the number of days needed to start business, the cost of starting a business (as a share of GNP p.c.), the survival rate of businesses, and the indicator is normalized, so that its minimum is 1.

39 The Liberalization of Migration Let us assume that the liberalization of migration takes place by an exogenous decrease in migration cost: cij t, for t {l, h}. However, this decrease concerns not the total cost, but its share which is due to the formal migration barriers (i.e. visa costs).
40 The Liberalization of Migration Let us assume that the liberalization of migration takes place by an exogenous decrease in migration cost: cij t, for t {l, h}. However, this decrease concerns not the total cost, but its share which is due to the formal migration barriers (i.e. visa costs). An important issue is the identification of these costs. One can think of at least two strategies: using the survey data on intended migration (Gallup Survey), as in Docquier et al. (2013), a decomposition of the total migration cost using structural gravity regressions run on constructed (model) data.

61 Conclusions The problem with liberalizing migration is the unequal distribution of the welfare gains across the OECD countries. People in the majority of countries (21 out of 34) are losing. The high-skilled are relatively better off, whereas the low-skilled lose drastically.
62 Conclusions The problem with liberalizing migration is the unequal distribution of the welfare gains across the OECD countries. People in the majority of countries (21 out of 34) are losing. The high-skilled are relatively better off, whereas the low-skilled lose drastically. Liberalizing trade does not bring large benefits, but it reduces the between-country inequality. Bilateral liberalizations (EU-US and EU-TUR) are positive for the destinations and harmful for the sources. Liberalizing migration spurs trade (complementarity), whereas liberalizing trade reduces migration (substitutability).
