title: [Reunification:  the impact of migration on potential West German growth].
abstract: "Using a certain number of hypotheses on labour efficiency, it is possible to evaluate the impact of reunification on West Germany's growth from 1988 to 1993.  The additional growth generated by this increase in the labour force is approximately six points of GDP over the period.  From 1989 to 1991, years during which immigration was at its height, the annual growth rate was 1.2 to 1.5 points higher than it would have been had reunification not taken place.  Since 1991, this potential growth has been on the downturn and should become moderate in coming years." (SUMMARY IN ENG AND GER AND SPA)
