Abstract

Serrano G., Requena F. and Martin-Montaner J. Immigration, factor endowments and the productive structure of Spanish regions, 1996--2005, Regional Studies . The participation of immigrants in the Spanish labour market has increased from less than 3% in 1996 to more than 13% in 2005. The factor proportion model of production was used to examine the impact of such a large labour supply shock on the industrial structure of Spanish regions. The results confirm that, first, labour endowment differences across regions help to explain the regional patterns of industry specialization. Second, immigrants and natives act as complementary factors in most industries. Third, the importance of immigration is relatively small compared with production technique changes and idiosyncratic industry changes in explaining the overall changes in industrial structure.

L'immigration, la dotation en facteurs et la structure productive des r�gions espagnoles entre 1996 et 2005, Regional Studies . Le taux de participation des immigr�s dans le march� du travail espagnol a augment� de moins de 3% en 1996 jusqu'à plus de 13% en 2005. On s'est servi du modèle de production fond� sur la distribution des facteurs afin d'examiner l'impact d'un choc tellement �lev� de l'offre de main-d'oeuvre sur la structure industrielle des r�gions espagnoles. Les r�sultats confirment que, primo, les diff�rences de la dotation en main-d'oeuvre à travers les r�gions contribuent à expliquer la distribution r�gionale de la sp�cialisation industrielle. Secundo, les populations immigr�e et indigène se complètent comme facteurs dans la plupart des industries. Tertio, l'importance de l'immigration s'avère relativement faible par comparaison avec la transformation des proc�d�s et la mutation particulière de l'industrie afin d'expliquer l'�volution globale de la structure industrielle.

Einwanderung, Ausstattung mit Faktoren und die produktive Struktur in den spanischen Regionen, 1996--2005, Regional Studies . Die Beteiligung von Immigranten am spanischen Arbeitsmarkt ist von weniger als 3% im Jahr 1996 auf mehr als 13% im Jahr 2005 gestiegen. Wir untersuchen mit Hilfe eines Faktorproportionenmodells der Produktion die Auswirkung eines derart umfangreichen Angebotsschocks an Arbeitskräften auf die Branchenstruktur der spanischen Regionen. Aus den Ergebnissen geht erstens hervor, dass das unterschiedlich starke Ausstattung mit Arbeitskräften in den verschiedenen Regionen dazu beiträgt, die regionalen Muster bei der Branchenspezialisierung zu erklären. Zweitens wirken Einwanderer und Einheimische in den meisten Branchen als komplementäre Faktoren. Drittens fällt die Bedeutung der Einwanderung im Vergleich zu den Änderungen in der Produktionstechnik und idiosynkratischen Branchenänderungen zur Erklärung der generellen Änderungen in der Branchenstruktur relativ gering aus.

En el marco del modelo de producción de proporciones factoriales, analizamos el impacto de este shock de oferta de trabajo en la estructura productiva de las regiones españolas. Los resultados apuntan que: las diferencias en las dotaciones factoriales regionales determinan los patrones regionales de especialización industrial; los inmigrantes y los nativos actúan como factores complementarios en muchos sectores; y en la explicación de los cambios en la estructura productiva, la importancia de la inmigración es relativamente pequeña comparada con la de los cambios tecnológicos y de las caracter�sticas idiosincrásicas sectoriales.
