"Economic impacts of surge in immigration in Japan from 2000-2009 - Bonus or onus?" by Omura, Masahiro Abstract Foreign registered residents in Japan numbered 2,186,121 at the end of 2009, which is 30 percent larger compared to that in 2000. A recently developed CGE model, GMig2 model was employed to capture the effects of the surge with other factors controlled. The increase in foreign population boosted Japan’s GDP by 0.16% without capital accumulation and by 0.24% with capital accumulation which is likely with a capital friendly shock such as the one under consideration. As to sectoral output, higher growth was observed in sectors relying on domestic market such as service sectors without capital accumulation. With capital accumulation export oriented sectors also showed stronger growth and improved the trade balance. Wages of native Japanese workers were affected negatively without capital accumulation, but such effects were neutralized with capital accumulation. |
