Abstract
The economic impact of immigration on the host country has been the object of extensive theoretical research in economics. However, no clear-cut conclusions on the sign and the size of the main migration effects can be derived from the available literature. While politicians and public opinion makers tend to see migration inflows as mainly causing difficulties to the native economy, this attitude does not seem to be supported by the economic literature. Joining the contributions of other social sciences collected in this book, this paper surveys a selected number of models of the migration impact and some empirical evidence with the goal of showing the wide range of outcomes suggested by the economic analysis, some of which are certainly not undesirable.
