Fiscal Effects of Migration in Slovakia: Static and Dynamic Analysis

Tomas Domonkos and Stefan Domonkos

Estimations of the fiscal effects of immigration in Slovakia are rare, the aim of this research is to fill this gap by calculating the static short-term as well as the dynamic long-term impact of immigration on public finances. the estimations are made based on the Slovak Generational Accounts differentiated with respect to origin, gender and educational attainment. the population is disaggregated to natives (i.e. Slovak citizens) and foreigners. First the results from the static approach are presented for the years 2017, 2018 and 2019, which are subsequently followed by the dynamic approach. the results of the dynamic analysis are developed according to five different migration scenarios. the results showed that the key parameters of the direction and the size of the fiscal effects are the total number of foreigners, the age distribution, the educational structure and the gender composition of the foreign population.
