Abstract
In a study of the relationship between immigration and economic conditions in the receiving country, the aspect now under discussion is the one that properly constitutes the economic problem. Strictly speaking, it can be reduced, from the economic point of view, to the more general problem of the introduction of new arrivals having at their disposal a specific purchasing power, within a given economic circuit. Besides, this problem is more easily approached by economic analysis construction of a theoretical model based on a certain number of simplifying hypotheses which can be discarded one after another in an effort to take into account the complexity of the real situation. But before beginning an examination of the impacts of immigration upon the mechanism, viz., upon the structure, of the economic system we shall briefly examine its impacts upon its dynamics.
