abstract: In this paper we study attitudinal responses of host country residents towards
further immigration that are triggered by economic considerations. We develop an
economic model motivating the empirical work that takes a broader view on these
issues than previous papers. We provide empirical analysis that is based on data
more specific and better suited to pick up the many channels of economic interest
through which benefits and costs of immigration may be felt. Results support
previous literature in establishing strong associations between individual
characteristics and a wide range of responses to questions relating to perceived
impact of immigrants on economic outcomes. Our analysis points to the importance
of a wider view on channels of economic interest and the way these affect
assessment of immigration.
