摘要

引進外籍勞工是解決人口老化問題的政策之一。本文的目的為探究引進高技術外籍勞工對台灣的影響。我們建立了具有兩個特色的生命循環模型:(1)在生產函數中，將高技術及低技術勞工視為兩個不同的變數;(2)內生化總要素生產力的成長率。研究結果顯示引進高技術外籍勞工對於台灣總體經濟及國內低技術勞工有益，但國內高技術勞工則會遭受福利的損失。整體而言，引進高技術外籍勞工可以減緩人口老化對產出及財政狀況的影響。

Foreign workers is a possible solution to population aging. This thesis aims to examine the effects of introducing high-skilled foreign workers on Taiwan. We construct an overlapping generations model featuring (1) the distinction of high-skilled and low-skilled workers in the production technology; (2) an endogenous growth of total factor productivity (TFP). The results show that introducing high-skilled foreign workers is beneficial to the economy and low-skilled domestic workers, while high-skilled domestic workers suffer from welfare loss. Overall, introducing high-skilled foreign workers is an effective way to mitigate the damage on aggregate output and government fiscal problem of Taiwan caused by population aging.
