Work in Progress
_ "Gains from Migration, Gains from Trade and Firm Heterogeneity."
I study the possible gains to an economy from eliminating all barriers to international migration. I develop a structural general equilibrium trade model of many countries, sectors and factors of production, that incorporates features from both neoclassical and new trade theories. I use this model to conduct a counterfactual simulation of migration liberalization. The paper departs from previous work by considering and emphasizing the role of .rm heterogeneity.
