Abstract

In this paper a discrete logistic–like dynamic model for the immigration arriving in Spain is constructed. The immigration population is split in two categories: regular and irregular. Taking into account economic, regulation, and political factors the model, is built in a vector form. For the sake of reliability the period of time is intentionally short, because the economic behavior and legal regulation are not stable.
