| Summary: |
We analyse the impact of different immigration policies on human capital investment in a search-theoretic model. This class of model features unemployment and underinvestment in human capital. We show that an immigration policy aiming at well educated immigrants leads to rising educational attainment of natives and can be Pareto-improving. In combination with education subsidies, underinvestment in human capital can be removed such that a Pareto-optimal investment level of natives is reached. Including labour markets of different skill groups the model exhibits the possibility to discuss a bimodal skilled immigration.
