Migration States and Welfare States: Why Is America Different from Europe? (Hardcover)

Over the last three decades, Europe's generous social benefits have
encouraged a massive surge of 'welfare migration,' especially of
low skilled laborers. At the same time, the US has attracted many
highly skilled migrants, which in turn promotes internal
innovation. Restrictions on the international mobility of labor are
arguably the largest policy obstructions for the international
economy today. A variety of studies suggest that even a small
reduction in barriers to migration will result in the growth of
significant global welfare benefits. Migration States and Welfare
States focuses on a central tension faced by policy makers in
countries that receive migrants from lower wage countries. Such
countries are typically highly productive and rich in capital.
These attributes, coupled with the host country's welfare system,
attract low-skilled migrants, who find a generous welfare state
particularly attractive, while deterring skilled migrants, who
recognize that welfare states likely have higher redistributive
taxes.
