Abstract

En este artículo se estima el impacto provocado por la inmigración en el crecimiento del Producto Interior Bruto per cápita (PIBpc) en cada uno de los países de la Unión Europea de los 15 (UE-15) durante el período 1995-2013, lo que nos permitirá comparar una fase de crecimiento económico (1995-2008) y otra de crisis (2008-2013). En concreto, se descompone el PIBpc en tres componentes asociadas a la productividad del trabajo, la tasa de empleo y la proporción de personas en edad de trabajar en el conjunto de la población. Posteriormente, con el objetivo de estimar la contribución de la inmigración al crecimiento del PIBpc, se realiza una desagregación para nativos y extranjeros. Ahora bien, las funciones utilizadas en la correspondiente desagregación pueden alterar los resultados relativos a la productividad del trabajo, por lo que hay que ser cautos en el momento de escoger las unidades de medida del PIB. || This paper describes the impact caused by immigration on the estimated growth of gross domestic product per capita (GDPpc) in each of the countries of the 15 members of the European Union (EU-15) during the period 1995 to 2013. Specifically, GDPpc breaks down into three factors: labour productivity, employment rate and proportion of people of working age in the general population. To approximate the contribution of immigration to GDPpc growth, a disaggregated estimate for natives and foreigners is done. However, functions used in the relevant disaggregation can affect the findings regarding labour productivity, consequently care must be taken when measurement units of GDP are chosen.
