We measure selection of high-skilled migrants from Germany using predicted earnings. Migrants to less equal countries …, consistent with the prediction in Borjas (1987). Positive selection to less equal countries is driven by university quality and … grades, and negative selection to more equal countries by university subject and gender.

We provide simple tests for selection on unobserved variables in the Vytlacil-Imbens-Angrist framework for Local … Average Treatment Effects. The tests allow researchers not only to test for selection on either or both of the treated and … untreated outcomes, but also to assess the magnitude of the selection effect. The tests are quite simple; undergraduates after …

Using a combination of non …-parametric econometrics and calibrated simulation, we quantify the impact of migrant self-selection on per-capita GDP in both sending and … migration from Mexico to the US in the 2000s. We first estimate the degree of selection, and show that Norwegians were …
