Macroeconomic Effects of Immigration: Evidence from CANDIDE, TRACE, and RDX2

Three macroeconomic models are surveyed and used to test the short- and medium-term effects of different levels of net immigration on the Canadian economy. The experiments all make use of a standard set of demographic inputs and a common solution period. The uniform result is that increased immigrat...

description Three macroeconomic models are surveyed and used to test the short- and medium-term effects of different levels of net immigration on the Canadian economy. The experiments all make use of a standard set of demographic inputs and a common solution period. The uniform result is that increased immigration raises the unemployment rate, marginally lowers real output per capita, and slightly reduces the rate of inflation in the consumer price index. In interpreting these results we note that it may be possible to mitigate these effects by expansionary monetary and fiscal policies. Other caveats also suggest careful consideration of the results. /// Trois modèles macro-économiques sont étudiés et utilisés dans le but d'examiner les effets, à moyens et à courts termes, des différents niveaux d'immigration nette sur l'économie canadienne. On se sert d'un ensemble ordinaire d'inputs démographiques et d'une période d'observation commune. Le résultat obtenu démontre qu'un taux d'immigration plus élevé augmente le taux de chômage, diminue de façon marginale l'output per capita, et réduit quelque peu le taux d'inflation à l'indice des prix aux consommateurs. En analisant ces résultats, on voit qu'il est possible d'atténuer ces effets par des politiques monétaire et fiscale expansionnistes. D'autres détails incitent également à une étude attentive des résultats.
