It develops a random search model of the labour market featuring vacancy persistence, endogenous return migration, and wage rigidity. Consistent with the Spanish data, some immigrants in the model leave the country during the recession, freeing up jobs for natives. Yet, differences in match-quality draws between immigrants and natives also impact firms’ job creation decisions. The return-migration channel positively affects natives, while job creation effects are negative in the calibrated Spanish economy. I find that immigrants mitigate the impact of the recession and enhance natives’ welfare. During the recession, the native unemployment rate would have been 2 percentage points higher in the absence of the pre-crisis immigration boom. Return migration plays a key role, with short- and medium-run impacts on the native unemployment rate 6 times larger than all other channels combined.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48389,"journal":{"name":"European Economic Review","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-07-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0014292124001430/pdfft?md5=9e65041911e739dbde5f3bb514591325&pid=1-s2.0-S0014292124001430-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141785047","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our analysis underscores the risks associated with fiscal rules linked to growth rates, which may prove unsustainable under permanent shifts in productivity growth. For equilibria to exist, fiscal policy must respond to the slowdown ensuring that the government budget constraint holds in the low growth regime. While the slowdown imposes significant welfare costs on households, it also triggers a substantial endogenous response that boosts capital accumulation and functions as an automatic stabilizer. If fiscal policy maintains the provision of public goods per capita constant, the slowdown gives rise to a pleasant fiscal arithmetic, requiring tax cuts or a higher target debt-to-output ratio for long-term fiscal sustainability. We discuss the ramifications of various fiscal strategies, including increasing per capita public spending, altering the tax structure, and adjusting the target debt-to-output ratio.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48389,"journal":{"name":"European Economic Review","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0014292124001351/pdfft?md5=c35bca183b217947cf8fdb9f3a082ff1&pid=1-s2.0-S0014292124001351-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141736388","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the model, student effort directly influences class completion and moderates the risk of poor performance or dropout. Simulating two policy scenarios — universal free college and performance-based free college — we find that universal free college triggers the largest enrollment increase but minimal change in graduation rates, aligning with observed cross-country patterns. Meanwhile, performance-based free college induces a more moderate enrollment expansion while simultaneously yielding a higher graduation rate.
