本文考察了第二次大移民潮（1945-2000年）对美国经济的影响。我们的分析依赖于一个可计算的一般均衡模型，该模型结合了移民和本地人之间的主要相互作用（劳动力市场影响，财政影响，资本深化，内生教育，内生不平等）。与最近的研究相反，我们表明，移民引起了重要的净收益和本地人之间的小再分配效应。根据我们的模拟，战后美国移民对所有本地人群体和所有技能群体都有利。然而，如果美国实施更有选择性的移民政策，收益会更大。
This paper examines the economic impact of the second great immigration wave (1945–2000) on the US economy. Our analysis relies on a computable general equilibrium model combining the major interactions between immigrants and natives (labor market impact, fiscal impact, capital deepening, endogenous education, endogenous inequality). Contrary to recent studies, we show that immigration induced important net gains and small redistributive effects among natives. According to our simulations, the postwar US immigration is beneficial for all natives cohorts and all skill groups. Nevertheless, the gains would have been larger if the US had conducted a more selective immigration policy.
