| Abstract: | This paper is the first systematic empirical analysis of the link between trade and immigration using UK data. To date, most of the economic studies focusing on UK immigrants have been confined to measuring their impact on the local labour markets. The authors feel, therefore, that they made a contribution towards the understanding of the possible overall effects of immigration on the economy as a whole. Another contribution of the paper is in helping further understand the mechanism behind the trade and immigration nexus. To do so, the authors explored a unique aspect of the UK immigration data: immigrants in Britain come from either Commonwealth or non-Commonwealth countries. Countries in the former group have a shared history and similar social institutions as the United Kingdom, but those in the latter do not. |
