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...

Rethinking the Area Approach: Immigrants and the Labor Market in California, 1960-2005.
Peri, Giovanni - National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) - 2010
I show that a CES production-function-based approach with skill differentiation and integrated national labor markets has predictions for the employment effect of immigrants at the local level. The model predicts that if I look at the employment (rather than wage) response by skill to...

Ferreira, Fernando V.; Gyourko, Joseph; Tracy, Joseph - National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) - 2008
Using two decades of American Housing Survey data from 1985-2005, we estimate the impact on household mobility of owners having negative equity in their homes and of rising mortgage interest rates. We find that both lead to lower, not higher, mobility rates over time. The impacts are...

Measuring the Economic Effects of Military Base Closures
Hooker, Mark A.; Knetter, Michael M. - National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) - 1999
Quite often, policy changes that are seen as welfare-improving at the national level encounter significant resistance in localities where the policies are implemented. Defense spending cuts and international trade agreements are classic examples. However, there is little systematic evidence on...
