| Abstract: | In the developed countries some native workers are unemployed while there exist illegal unskilled (legal skilled) foreign workers (here as: i-f-w.) who are complementary to (substitutable for) natives and their wages are usually lower than (equal to) that of natives. This paper introduces two types of immigrant in an efficiency wage model. It is shown that domestic government should exclude i-f-w. but welcome legal ones if the total number of illegal immigrants is small enough and well controlled. On the other hand, legal immigration should be restricted if the flood of illegal immigration is out of control. |
