Substitution between Immigrants, Natives, and Skill Groups
Borjas, George J. - 2011
The wage impact of immigration depends crucially on the elasticity of substitution between similarly skilled immigrants and natives and the elasticity of substitution between high school dropouts and graduates. This paper revisits the estimation of these elasticities. The U.S. data indicate that...

The Impact of Assimilation on the Earnings of Immigrants : a Reexamination of the Evidence
Borjas, George J. - 2021
This paper reexamines the empirical basisfor two "facts" which seem to be found in most cross-section studies of immigrant earnings: (1) the earnings of immigrants grow rapidly as they assimilate into the U.S.; and (2) this rapid growth leads to many immigrants overtaking the earnings of the...

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 nonmigrants. We use the Danish … emigrants in terms of preemigration earnings: the income distribution for the migrants almost stochastically dominates the …
