Heterogeneous labor impacts of migration across skill groups : the case of Costa Rica
Blyde, Juan S. - 2020
Popular empirical strategies that examine the labor impacts of migrants, like the skill-cell approach, are frequently used to measure the effects of immigrants from a particular skill group on native-born workers with similar skills. I use an augmented version of the skill-cell approach to...
