During the last decade, Lithuania, as most other post-soviet countries, demonstrated severely high emigration rates. As a result, the process of emigration from the country is frequently analysed in empirical studies. Yet, there is a dearth of research on immigrat ion in Lithuania, making it difficult to say anyt hing about the effects. This paper is an attempt to fill this gap and to examine what exactly attracts immigrants in Lithuania and what is the impact that the immigration flows have on the Lit huanian economy. Two models describing the causes of immigrat ion were constructed: one – for the situation before the financial crisis, another one – after it. In order to determine economic impact of immigration on Lit huanian economy some new informat ion was developed, by checking how (if) the main economic indicators are influenced by the growing extent of immigration.
