Hello everyone
I am finding alot of articles that state that immigration does not have a negative relationship with unemployment. However, Im very confused as to how they come to this conclusion. What kind of methods would be used to come by this conclusion? Surveys, field research, experiments, available data?
They have mention some terms which I think they have used to measure this issue. Here's an example of what the articles say:
"Bidirectional Causality Test finds no evidence of a significant effect of immigration on employment."
"Co-integration tests indicate no observed increase in aggregate unemployment due to immigration in the long run"
"Result from causality test based on vector error correction model, confirms that in the short run, past unemployment does cause less immigration rates, but not vice versa."
Does anyone know what co-integration tests are?Or Bidirectional Causality Test?OR the Vector error correction model?What methods categories would these fall under?
