This paper develops a model to analyze the effects of immigration by skill on the outcome of a majority vote among natives on both the size as well as the composition of public spending. Public spending can be of two types, spending on rival goods (transfers) and on non-rival goods (public...

We examine the effect of immigration on public spending from a theoretical (political economic) and an empirical perspective. We distinguish between public spending on private goods and on public goods. Our model implies that whether immigration increases or decreases public spending primarily...

We examine the relation between low-skilled and high-skilled immigration and public spending from a theoretical and an empirical perspective. We introduce the distinction of public spending on private goods and on public goods. Our model implies that high-skilled immigration can have a negative...
