| dc.description | The paper is designed to provoke discussion of the circumstances
under which expulsion of aliens from an economy can increase the total
income of the remaining residents. The presumption, based on a first
approximation assuming competitive equilibrium and convex constant-returns-to-scale production technology, is that expulsion cannot increase total
citizen income and may diminish it, unless it is accompanied by expropriation.
How this presumption might be modified or reversed by failure of
its assumptions is discussed. The most important possibility is that
aliens held monopolies in high marginal product occupations from which
qualified or potentially qualified citizens were excluded. Readers are
invited to speculate about other possibilities, including dynamic effects
and changes of social psychology, which cannot be analyzed with the
techniques of static economic theory used here. | |
