Description
Abstract:	This dissertation investigates the distribution of income and factor movements in the specific-factors framework with and without unemployment by relaxing the conventional small-country assumption. It will be shown that the small country is a special case of the more general model developed in the dissertation. As a further extension, the dissertation proceeds to study the problem of illegal immigration. Short-run responses of income distribution, factor movements, and outputs to intensive employer sanctions, as well as the following adjustment process of endogenous variables toward long-run equilibrium, will be analyzed. In addition, the distinction between small and large countries will be emphasized.
