Abstract
This paper attempts to evaluate the impact of current and future immig ration flows on major macroeconomic variables of the West German econo my. The analysis is based on a macroeconometric disequilibrium model f or the West German economy. This model is extended until 1995 and used for several simulation experiments. Special attention is given to the notion that the effects of immigration are regime-specific, i.e., the y depend on the type of disequilibrium prevailing on the goods and lab or market.
