This is the first book that takes a theoretical approach to the
effects of international immigration by considering the current
economic topics confronted by more highly developed countries such
as Japan. Developed here is the classic trade model by
Heckscher-Ohlin-Samuelson, McDougall's basic model of the
international movement factor, the urban-rural migration model by
Harris-Todaro, and Copeland-Taylor's well-known model in the field
of environmental economics by introducing new trends such as
economic integration including free trade and factor mobility
between countries at different stages of development. Coexistence
of two types of immigrants - legal, skilled workers and illegal,
unskilled workers - without any explicit signs of discrimination,
transboundary pollution caused by neighboring lower-developed
countries with poor pollution abatement technology, difficult
international treatment of transboundary renewable resources, the
rapid process of aging and population decrease, the higher
unemployment rate of younger generations, and the serious gap
between permanent and temporary employed workers-are also
considered in this book as new and significant topics under the
context of international immigration. Taking into account the
special difficulties of those serious problems in Asia, each
chapter illustrates Japanese and other Asian situations that
encourage readers to understand the importance of optimal
immigration policies. Also shown is the possibility that economic
integration and liberalization of international immigration should
bring about positive effects on the economic welfare of the
developed host country including the aspects of natural
environment, renewable transboundary resources, the rate of
unemployment, and the wage gap between workers.
