Economic Impacts of Immigration: Scenarios using a Computable General Equilibrium Model of the New Zealand Economy
Full report
Summary
This study reports on simulations of the economy-wide impact of immigration into New Zealand. Different levels, compositions and other assumptions are tested.
Results from simulations at both macro and disaggregated (industries, occupations, international trade, and the distribution of income) levels are discussed. The computer model predicts economic outcomes in 2021 following a change in the size and composition of immigration, relative to a “business-as-usual” scenario.
Simulation results are also compared with those of a similar study conducted in the 1980s, as well as with a more recent study on the impact of immigration on the Australian economy.
