Thank you for your comment.

I'm afraid my paper relates primarily to the impact of skilled migration on the country from which the leave, the home country. As such it does not really touch on issues relating to the potential benefits and costs of the host country, the country to which the migrants migrate.

However, you raise some important questions, questions that are more adequately addressed by authors such as Borjas (http://www.borjas.com) and Card (http://www.irle.berkeley.edu/faculty/card/index.html).
