This paper-based dissertation examines the economic causes and consequences of immigration policies from the perspective of recipient countries. I argue that immigration policies affect the industry mix, and that unskilled immigration has tempered down the development of high-technology sectors during the past decades in OECD countries. Nonetheless, elected governments have incentives to increase immigration levels and to admit unskilled immigrants, in order to maintain the support of corporate interests, and to avoid the negative attention that would result from the depletion of traditional industries.

520 $a This paper-based dissertation examines the economic causes and consequences of immigration policies from the perspective of recipient countries. I argue that immigration policies affect the industry mix, and that unskilled immigration has tempered down the development of high-technology sectors during the past decades in OECD countries. Nonetheless, elected governments have incentives to increase immigration levels and to admit unskilled immigrants, in order to maintain the support of corporate interests, and to avoid the negative attention that would result from the depletion of traditional industries.
520 $a The first paper builds upon a model of endogenous technological change to argue that business research activities expand with the relative supply of skilled labour, and contract with relative increases in unskilled labour. Using panel data on OECD countries between 1971 and 2003, I estimate the elasticity of R&D outlays with respect to relative factor supplies with a dynamic OLS (DOLS) model. The empirical findings are consistent with the theory, and a key policy implication is that unskilled immigration has dampened the intensity of business investments in R&D.
520 $a The second paper examines the responsiveness of Canadian federal governments to corporate lobbying on the subject-matter of immigration, using quarterly data between 1996 and 2011. I claim that governments have electoral incentives to increase levels of immigration despite the restrictive preferences of the public, in order to secure the support of corporate interest groups. To test this argument, I make use of the vector autoregression methodology. A significant finding is the positive response of temporary worker inflows to the intensity of corporate lobbying.
520 $a The third paper argues that governments have incentives to adjust the skill composition of immigration in order to maintain the existing regional industry mix. I test this argument using panel data on Canadian provinces between 2001 and 2010, and a research design based on the two-stage least squares approach. The empirical findings are consistent with the main argument: provinces relying intensively upon traditional industries are likely to receive higher proportions of unskilled immigration, which contribute to maintain this specialization.
