The Labor Market Impact of Immigration in Western Germany in the 1990's

Peri, Giovanni; D'Amuri, Francesco; Ottaviano, … - National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) - 2008

We adopt a general equilibrium approach in order to measure the effects of recent immigration on the Western German labor market, looking at both wage and employment effects. Using the Regional File of the IAB Employment Subsample for the period 1987-2001, we find that the substantial...

Attracting Talent: Location Choices of Foreign-Born PhDs in the US

Grogger, Jeffrey T.; Hanson, Gordon - National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) - 2013

We use data from the NSF Survey of Earned Doctorates to examine the post-degree location choices of foreign-born students receiving PhDs from US universities in science and engineering. Over the period 1960 to 2008, 77% of foreign-born S&E PhDs state that they plan to stay in the United States....

Substitution Between Immigrants, Natives, and Skill Groups

Borjas, George; Grogger, Jeffrey T.; Hanson, Gordon - National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) - 2011

The wage impact of immigration depends crucially on the elasticity of substitution between similarly skilled immigrants and natives and the elasticity of substitution between high school dropouts and graduates. This paper revisits the estimation of these elasticities. The U.S. data indicate that...

Income Maximization and the Selection and Sorting of International Migrants

Grogger, Jeffrey T.; Hanson, Gordon - National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) - 2008

Two prominent features of international labor movements are that the more educated are more likely to emigrate (positive selection) and more-educated migrants are more likely to settle in destination countries with high rewards to skill (positive sorting). Using data on emigrant stocks by...

Imperfect Substitution between Immigrants and Natives: A Reappraisal

Borjas, George; Grogger, Jeffrey T.; Hanson, Gordon - National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) - 2008

In a recent paper, Ottaviano and Peri (2007a) report evidence that immigrant and native workers are not perfect … disappears once the analysis adjusts for such heterogeneity. As an example, the finding of immigrant-native complementarity … low-skilled workers ). More generally, we cannot reject the hypothesis that comparably skilled immigrant and native …

Rethinking the Effects of Immigration on Wages

Peri, Giovanni; Ottaviano, Gianmarco I.P. - National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) - 2006

This paper asks the following question: what was the effect of surging immigration on average and individual wages of U.S.-born workers during the period 1990-2004? We emphasize the need for a general equilibrium approach to analyze this problem. The impact of immigrants on wages of U.S.-born...

Immigration and National Wages: Clarifying the Theory and the Empirics

Peri, Giovanni; Ottaviano, Gianmarco I.P. - National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) - 2008

This paper estimates the effects of immigration on wages of native workers at the national U.S. level. Following Borjas (2003) we focus on national labor markets for workers of different skills and we enrich his methodology and refine previous estimates. We emphasize that a production function...

Immigration, Offshoring and American Jobs

Peri, Giovanni; Ottaviano, Gianmarco I.P.; Wright, Greg C. - National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) - 2010

How many "American jobs" have U.S.-born workers lost due to immigration and offshoring? Or, alternatively, is it possible that immigration and offshoring, by promoting cost-savings and enhanced efficiency in firms, have spurred the creation of jobs for U.S. natives? We consider a multi-sector...
