International labour movement and welfare effects: Malaysia as case study

This paper discusses general equilibrium modeling to measure the quantitative effects of unskilled foreign labours on host country, Malaysia as case study. The model presented in this paper is based on GMig2 model developed using GTAP 7 data base. Two-country, five-sectors and five-factors model is...
