![عکس صفحه اول مقاله: Migration of skilled workers: Policy interaction between host and source countries Migration of skilled workers: Policy interaction between host and source countries](/preview/png/969176.png)
We examine the interaction between policies of the host and source countries in the context of a model of skilled-worker migration. The host country aims to provide low-cost labor for its employers while also taking into consideration the fiscal burden of providing social services to immigrants. It optimizes by setting a time limit on the duration of a guest-worker's permit. The source country maximizes its net output by optimally choosing the amount of training provided to its citizens, some of whom may migrate. We solve for the Nash and cooperative-equilibrium values of the policy instruments.
► We develop a two-country model of skilled-worker migration with endogenous policies.
► The host sets the duration of work permit and the source provides education.
► Policies in Nash equilibrium are compared with those under joint welfare maximization.
► Equilibrium outcomes depend on: tax, social spending, and other policies of the host.
► Ability of migrants to acquire skills abroad + valuation of those skills at home, etc.
