Simulations of migration model

[pmichaillat]

Here are some resources related to @sargaizs research interests:

• Recent paper on migration that reconciles the Borjasian and Cardian views
• Simulations of a more cumbersome version of the model with MATLAB
• Simulations of a related model with MATLAB and analysis of US data

The idea would be to calibrate the migration model and simulate the results of the migration paper to quantify all the theoretical results, including:

• Effect of immigration on tightness, unemployment and employment over the business cycle
• Optimal immigration policy over the business cycle
• Attenuation obtained when wages fall with immigration
