Eine ?onomische Analyse des Art. 39 EGV und seiner ?ergangsvorschriften

Diplomarbeit aus dem Jahr 2008 im Fachbereich VWL - Internationale Wirtschaftsbeziehungen, Note: 2,3, Eberhard-Karls-Universit?t T?bingen (Institut f?r Finanzwissenschaft), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: The aim of the thesis was to find out whether immigration from the Central and Eastern European countries negatively effects the wage and employment level in the present EU and - if that is the case - whether the implementation of transitional periods for the free movement of workers like in Germany can prevent these negative immigration effects. To better predict the impact of unrestricted and restricted labor migration, the paper analyses several models that take into consideration the skill composition of the migration workforce, labor market inflexibility in receiving countries, and trade. Considering these variables, the thesis comes to the following conclusions: from an academic perspective, the impact of migration is still controversial. Some theoretical and empirical studies find very small wage and employment effects of migration, others show considerable large impacts. Also for Germany it is unsure if there is really cause for concern. However, recent studies show that migration barriers, like in Germany, are often insufficient to prevent negative wage and employment effects. Other policy options have to be taken into account.
