    I think his conclusion was that low skilled wages would suffer a decrease of 1-3%, but he considers that to be small. This is inline with the BoE study which said 2% for every 10% that a sector is made up of immigration.

    The skilled all make more money.

    Take a guess who supports what.

    I wonder if these temporary relaxations will get extended, and then extended again. And then again. Until we're essentially just allowing EU citizens to work in the UK, without the reciprocal right for UK citizens.

    It is certainly going to blunt wage increases in low paid sectors and business interest in automation where this is practical. Not a great legacy on Brexit.
    So the recent Nobel prize winning economist has empirical evidence that says this isn’t true but ok.
    Your fella may be an economist who won a Nobel prize but he did not win it for his work in the field of economics as there is not a Nobel Prize for economics.

    A little known fact that will get you critical acclaim down the pub.
    What's this then?

    In 1968, Sveriges Riksbank (Sweden’s central bank) established the Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel, founder of the Nobel Prize. The Prize is based on a donation received by the Nobel Foundation in 1968 from Sveriges Riksbank on the occasion of the Bank’s 300th anniversary. The first Prize in Economic Sciences was awarded to Ragnar Frisch and Jan Tinbergen in 1969.

    The Prize in Economic Sciences is awarded by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, Stockholm, Sweden, according to the same principles as for the Nobel Prizes that have been awarded since 1901.

    There is, but it's got a slightly different name.

    *eyeroll* OK SC. Forgive me for thinking the "nobel prize" website and the press referring to it as the "nobel prize in economics", operating it in exactly the same manner as a nobel prize is a nobel prize.

    I suspect you're the type who insists in pub quizzes the Hague is actually the capital of Netherlands as that is where the royalty and parliament reside.

    Bizarrely I am not that person but on here I find the level of pedantry and pinhead dancing incredible so thought i would join in with one of the few I know.

    Next time you meet a Nobel Prize winning economist ask them what subject they won it in.

    Apparently he may have survived - DNA tests showed Cassidy and Sundance weren't buried in the Bolivian graves they were thought to be - and lived out his life into old age.

    Sounds an interesting character - I read he had a lot of sympathisers because he never killed anybody - I thought that was an unusually low bar.

    Given how many people on here like to get all upset about a 1% lower GDP increase year on year that may be the result of Brexit I am surprised they are not more upset about the low skilled being done over by 1-3% on wages due to immigration. They are probably the people that see an across the board 3% wage increase as good as they are at the top of the pay scale and can't understand the complaint of the guy on half their wage.

    Or occasionally read about the South American Football championships and look at why Bolivia do so well at home compared to away.

    Sucre is at only 2,800m, so in the perennial capital battle it would be conceding an advantage for the national football team.

    Yet those people are happy for people on low wages to have compound growth work against them compared to the more well off. I wonder why.

    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    Can you really not see the difference between wages being reduced by 1-3% and wage growth being reduced by 1-3% a year?

    I will help you out. Minimum wage gets a 1-3% uplift every year and a guy on double his wage gets the same yearly uplift. After ten years how does this look between the two examples given. This was my original point that I have now put in numbers to you.
