Immigration, unemployment and GDP in the host country: Bootstrap panel Granger causality analysis on OECD countries
This paper examines the causality relationship between immigration, unemployment and economic growth of the host country. We employ the panel Granger causality testing approach of Kónya (2006) that is based on SUR systems and Wald tests with country specific bootstrap critical values. This approach...
