自 2004 年欧盟 (EU) 东扩以来，人们普遍认为，由于来自东欧的大量工人移民，英国的公共服务质量受到了影响。本文探讨了 2006 年至 2007 年间移民对英国地方政府服务成就以及 2006 年公民满意度的影响。统计结果表明，来自欧盟 A8 国家的大量工人移民与较低的服务绩效相关，但这种负相关关系可能会因之前与欧洲移民打交道的经验而得到缓解。讨论了理论和实践意义。
Since the expansion of the European Union (EU) in 2004 it has been widely assumed that the quality of UK public services has suffered due to high levels of worker migration from Eastern Europe. This article explores the effects of immigration on the service achievements of English local authorities between 2006 and 2007, and citizen satisfaction in 2006. The statistical results suggest that high levels of worker migration from EU A8 countries are associated with lower service performance, but that this negative relationship may be moderated by prior experience of dealing with European immigrants. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.
