-Czech border, we examine the impact of an exogenous immigration-induced labor supply shock on local wages and employment of natives …. On average, the supply shock leads to a moderate decline in local native wages and a sharp decline in local native … employment. These average effects mask considerable heterogeneity across groups: while younger natives experience larger wage …

In the context of certain dynamic models, it is possible to infer the elasticity of labor supply to the firm from the elasticity of the quit rate with respect to the wage. Using this property, we estimate the average labor supply elasticity to public school districts in Missouri. We take...

In this paper we develop a job portfolio model of dual job holding based on a Stone-Geary utility function. We derive the associated Slutsky equation components. Because the job portfolio model applies only to unconstrained dual jobholders, we separate individuals who moonlight because of an...

elasticities derived from microeconometric models can also be explained by modeling assumptions with respect to wages. Specifically … very sensitive to the treatment of wages. In particular, the often-made but highly restrictive independence assumption … between preferences and wages is key. To overcome this restriction, we propose a flexible estimation strategy that nests …
