For a long time, migration has been subject to intensive economic research. Nevertheless, empirical evidence regarding … the determinants of migration still appears to be incomplete. In this paper, we analyze the effects of socio-economic and … institutional determinants, especially labor-market institutions, on migrants' choices. Based on a large data set constructed from …

This paper develops and estimates a joint hazard-longitudinal (JHL) model of the timing of migration and labor market … endogenous age of entry in estimating the returns to years since migration by allowing cross-equation correlations of random …

This paper uses a large survey (SOEP) to update and deepen our knowledge about the labor market performance of … gap. Immigrants are initially less likely to participate in the labor market and more likely to be unemployed. While … participation fully converges after 20 years, immigrants always remain more likely to be unemployed than the native labor force. …
