Using U.S. manufacturing data, Griliches (1969) found evidence suggesting that capital equipment was more substitutable … for unskilled than skilled labor. Griliches formulated this finding as the capital-skill complementarity hypothesis. The … purpose of this study is to determine whether the capital-skill complementarity framework holds for Ghana manufacturing plants …

Consequently, when capital is immobile, host nations' optimal levels of immigration are … positively related to their capital endowments.
