采用小型开放式重叠代模型分析了移民政策收紧对东道国本土工人的长期影响。这样的政策旨在保护本地工人不失去收入和可能的工作。结果表明，更严格的政策如预期的那样提高了非熟练工人的工资率，但即使熟练工人和非熟练工人（在技术上）是互补的，它也可能提高熟练工人的工资率。这样的政策也降低了国家的平均教育水平。如果熟练劳动力和非熟练劳动力可以充分替代，那么该政策反而可能增加东道国的移民流入。
Long-term effects of tightening immigration policies on native workers of a host country are analyzed using a small open overlapping-generation model. Such a policy is intended to protect native workers from losing income and possibly jobs. Results demonstrate that a stricter policy raises the unskilled wage rate as expected, but it might also raise the skilled-wage rate even if skilled and unskilled labors are (technically) complementary. Such a policy also lowers the average education level of the country. If skilled and unskilled labors are sufficiently substitutable, then the policy might instead increase immigration inflows to the host country.
