“…Bonin et al (2000) and Bonin (2001) argued that immigrants yield a small net bene…t for the public sector over their whole lifespans due to their young average arrival age and the manner through which the German pension system was tied to earned income. Moscarola (2003) and Ablett (1999) similarly estimated that Italy and Australia, respectively, bene…ted from the taxes paid by immigrants relative to the cost they represent.…”

“…Using data on immigration to OECD countries, Kahanec and Zimmermann (2008) provide empirical evidence on the positive relationship between high-skilled immigration and economic equality in the destination countries. In addition, it is known that immigration may alleviate the demographic burden and, especially skilled immigration, may relieve the pressure placed due to an ageing population in the old EU15 (see Bonin et al, 2000 for an analysis of the fiscal impact of earlier immigration in Germany). Since immigrants from the new member states are predominantly young and relatively skilled (although they seem to self-select into relatively lowskilled occupations), they may decrease the fiscal burden of future resident generations; however, this effect depends on immigrants' remaining lifetime net payments to the public sector in the host country.…”

Lessons from Migration after EU Enlargement 1 IntroductionWhat once was unimaginable, then a vision, turned into reality, when eight Central and Eastern European countries 1 (EU8), together with Cyprus and Malta, and Bulgaria and Romania (EU2), joined the European Union in May 2004 and January 2007, respectively. While cheered by many, EU enlargement brought about a number of concerns as well. The change it impinged on the European migration landscape was unprecedented in many aspects: the population size of the acceding countries was large; the differences in income between the old EU member states 2 and the EU8 and the EU2 were substantial; essentially no migration between the former Soviet bloc and the West was allowed during the decades of separation by the "Iron Curtain"; and the new member states underwent a complex process of societal transformation to a free society and a market-based economy prior to their EU accession.These specific circumstances partly explain the sensitivity of the migration issue among the general public as well as policy makers across Europe, who feared economic, social, cultural and political consequences of free east-west migration in an enlarged EU. Competition in the labor markets and for welfare benefits has prominently driven these fears. In contradiction of the European Union's fundamental principle of free movement, 3 these fears have materialized as transitional periods of up to seven years, which ...

Resumen: Este trabajo realiza una aproximación a los gastos e ingresos públicos atribuibles a la población inmigrante residente en España durante el período 2006-2008. Se han considerado tanto los gastos divisibles (sociales, sanitarios y educativos), como los indivisibles atribuibles a todos los ciudadanos por igual. También se han cuantificado los recursos que aportan de manera impositiva mediante la consideración de las figuras tributarias en las que el inmigrante tiene cierta importancia como sujeto pasivo, tanto las recaudadas por la administración central, como por las autonómicas y locales. Los resultados obtenidos muestran que el gasto atribuible a los inmigrantes es superior a los ingresos impositivos que se derivan de su aportación al erario público. Abstract: This study examines the public expenditures and revenues that can be attributed to the immigrant population resident in Spain during the period 2006-2008. We have considered both separable expenditures (social, health and education), and inseparable expenditures, attributed to all citizens alike. We have also quantified the resources contributed through their taxes by taking into account taxes which affect immigrants significantly, as well as taxes collected through the central, regional and local governments. The results show that the expenditure attributable to immigrants is higher than the tax revenues they produce.
