TextSeries: Working paper series (National Bureau of Economic Research) ; no. 15013.Publication details: Cambridge, Mass. : National Bureau of Economic Research, 2009Description: 10 p. ; 22 cmSubject(s): Social security -- Political aspects | Emigration and immigration -- Government policy -- Economic aspectsLOC classification: HB1 | .N38 no. 15013Online resources: Click here to access online Summary: The pay-as-you-go social security system, increasingly burdened by dwindling labor force, can benefit from immigrants whose birth rates exceed those of the native born birth. The paper examines adynamic political-economy mechanism through which the social security system influences the young decisive voter's attitudes in favor of a more liberal immigration regime. A Markov equilibrium with social security consists of a more liberal migration policy, than a corresponding equilibrium with no social security. Thus, the social security system effectively provides an incentive to liberalize migration policy through a political-economy mechanism.
