This paper constructs a dynamic
theoretical model and calibrates the model
with the Australian data. The simulations
provide new findings which demonstrate that
skilled immigrants are not 'job robbers'
but unskilled immigrants have the potential
to become such. The result that immigrants
are not job robbers is due to there having
been a much larger number of skilled immigrants
than the unskilled immigrants in Australia
during the past twelve years, 1990-2002.
The immigration policy adopted by
the Australian government, which targets
skilled immigrants, leads the economy to
the direction of growth.
