Felfe, Christina; Kocher, Martin; Rainer, Helmut; … - 2018
Inequality of opportunity, particularly when overlaid with racial, ethnic, or cultural differences, increases the social distance between individuals, which is widely believed to limit the scope of cooperation. A central question, then, is how to bridge such divides. We study the effects of a...

Do immigrants displace native workers? : evidence from matched panel data
Martins, Pedro S.; Piracha, Matloob; Varejão, José M. - 2012

Ethnic identity and immigrants' labour market outcomes
Piracha, Matloob; Tani, Massimiliano; Cheng, Zhiming; … - 2021
