Immigration, search, and redistribution : a quantitative assessment of native welfare

Battisti, Michele; Felbermayr, Gabriel; Peri, Giovanni; … - 2014

We study the effects of immigration on native welfare in a general equilibrium model featuring two skill types, search frictions, wage bargaining, and a redistributive welfare state. Our quantitative analysis suggests that, in all 20 countries studied, immigration attenuates the effects of...

Endogenous skill formation and the source country effects of international labor market integration

Egger, Hartmut; Felbermayr, Gabriel - 2007

With endogenous skills and given technology, labor market integration necessarily lowers welfare of the left-behind in a poor sending country, even if all agents face identical emigration probabilities. This is in sharp contrast to the case of exogenous skill supply.

Naturally negative : the growth effects of natural disasters

Felbermayr, Gabriel; Gröschl, Jasmin Katrin - 2013

Growth theory predicts that natural disasters should, on impact, lower GDP per capita. However, the empirical literature does not offer conclusive evidence. Most existing studies use disaster data drawn from damage records of insurance companies. We argue that this may lead to estimation bias as...

Firm dynamics and residual inequality in open economies

Felbermayr, Gabriel; Giammario, Impullitti; Prat, Julien - 2014

Increasing wage inequality between similar workers plays an important role for overall inequality trends in industrialized societies.
