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 … immigration does not, but rather reduces the share of offshored jobs instead. Moreover, since both phenomena have a positive "cost …

The Mover's Advantage: Scientific Performance of Mobile Academics
Stephan, Paula E.; Franzoni, Chiara; Scellato, Giuseppe - National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) - 2012
We investigate performance differentials associated with mobility for research active scientists residing in a broad spectrum of countries and working in a broad spectrum of fields using data from the GlobSci survey. We distinguish between two categories of mobile scientists: (1) those studying...

Choice of Country by the Foreign Born for PhD and Postdoctoral Study: A Sixteen-Country Perspective
Stephan, Paula E.; Franzoni, Chiara; Scellato, Giuseppe - National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) - 2013
We analyze the decisions of foreign-born PhD and postdoctoral trainees to come to the United States vs. go to another country for training. Data are drawn from the GlobSci survey of scientists in sixteen countries working in four fields. We find that individuals come to the U.S. to train because...

A Spatial Knowledge Economy
Davis, Donald R.; Dingel, Jonathan I. - National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) - 2012
Leading empiricists and theorists of cities have recently argued that the generation and exchange of ideas must play a more central role in the analysis of cities. This paper develops the first system of cities model with costly idea exchange as the agglomeration force. Our model replicates a...

Mobile Scientists and International Networks
Stephan, Paula E.; Scellato, Giuseppe; Franzoni, Chiara - National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) - 2012
This paper explores the link between mobility and the presence of international research networks. Data come from the GlobSci survey of authors of articles published in 2009 in four fields of science working in sixteen countries. Summary evidence suggests that migration plays an important role...

Peri, Giovanni; Iranzo, Susana - National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) - 2007
Two prominent features of globalization in recent decades are the remarkable increase in trade and in migratory flows between industrializing and industrialized countries. Due to restrictive laws in the receiving countries and high migration costs, the increase in international migration has...

A Nation of Immigrants: Assimilation and Economic Outcomes in the Age of Mass Migration
Abramitzky, Ran; Boustan, Leah Platt; Eriksson, Katherine - National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) - 2012
During the Age of Mass Migration (1850-1913), the US maintained an open border, absorbing 30 million European immigrants. Prior cross-sectional work on this era finds that immigrants initially held lower-paid occupations than natives but experienced rapid convergence over time. In...

Immigrants Equilibrate Local Labor Markets: Evidence from the Great Recession
Cadena, Brian C.; Kovak, Brian K. - National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) - 2013
This paper demonstrates that low-skilled Mexican-born immigrants' location choices in the U.S. respond strongly to changes in local labor demand, and that this geographic elasticity helps equalize spatial differences in labor market outcomes for low-skilled native workers, who are much less...
