ABSTRACT
In light of the persistence and the emerging trend of international migration in the world, debates on immigration impact have never ceased and are becoming even more contentious in immigration-receiving countries (Borjas 2001; Massey and Taylor 2004; Smith and Edmonston 1998; Stahl 2003). The most addressed issues by relevant studies comprise two broad aspects. The first one focuses on immigration impact on the employment opportunities of domestic labor market and thus the resulted impact on the wage level of native workers. The other, within the spatial context, studies immigration impact on internal migration of the native-born populations (hereafter the native-borns). Either from the supply or demand side of manpower, both aspects of study are interrelated but hard to accommodate simultaneously except for a few studies (e.g., Borjas 2006; Card 2001).
