Trends in the Returns to Social Assimilation : Earnings Premiums Among U.S. Immigrants that Marry Natives

Brücker, Herbert; Jahn, Elke J. - 2021
Based on a wage curve approach we examine the labor market effects of migration in Germany. The wage curve relies on the assumption that wages respond to a change in the unemployment rate, albeit imperfectly. This allows one to derive the wage and employment effects of migration simultaneously...
