Gender, Selection into Employment, and the Wage Impact of Immigration
Borjas, George J.; Edo, Anthony - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2021
Immigrant supply shocks are typically expected to reduce the wage of comparable workers. Natives may respond to the lower wage by moving to markets that were not directly targeted by immigrants and where presumably the wage did not drop. This paper argues that the wage change observed in the...

Self‐selection of emigrants : theory and evidence on stochastic dominance in observable and unobservable characteristics
Borjas, George J.; Kauppinen, Ilpo; Poutvaara, Panu - 2015
We show that the Roy model has more precise predictions about the self‐selection of migrants than previously realized … imply a stochastic dominance relationship between the earnings distributions of migrants and non-migrants. We use the Danish … emigrants in terms of pre-emigration earnings: the income distribution for the migrants almost stochastically dominates the …
