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...

Many European countries restrict immigration from new EU member countries. The rationale is to avoid adverse wage and employment effects. We quantify these effects for Germany. Following Borjas (2003), we estimate a structural model of labor demand, based on elasticities of substitution between...

In Deutschland werden den Unternehmen Exportkreditgarantien zur Verfügung gestellt, die auch als »Hermesdeckungen« bekannt sind. Im Rahmen einer aktuellen Studie hat das ifo Institut die Beschäftigungseffekte der Hermesdeckungen für die letzten zehn Jahre evaluiert. Die Analyse zeigte, dass...
