Skill composition of immigration flows and the measurement of education-occupation mismatch

Poot, Jacques; Stillman, Steven - In: IZA journal of migration : IZAJOM 5 (2016) 18, pp. 1-28

Recent papers have found that often immigrants are overqualified relative to native-born workers when comparing an individual’s education to the ‘average’ education in their occupation. We show that these results are sensitive to differences in the education distribution between immigrants...
