Analzying the Fiscal Impact of U. S. Immigration

摘要

In recent yeas, the renewed strength of immigration to the United states ahs sparked a debate about the economic effects of im- migration. A central issue in this debate has been the fiscal impact of immigrants. Most research in this area has adopted a static, cross-section approach in assessing the net impact of immigrants on the economy's fis- cal position. However, recent work has ex- tended this perspective to consider the impact of immigrants over time.
