Politicians, the media, and the public express concern that immigrants depress wages by competing with native workers, but 30 years of empirical research provide little supporting evidence to this claim. Most studies for industrialized countries have found no effect on wages, on average, and...

Can immigrants ever earn as much as native workers? : immigrants initially earn less than natives; the wage gap falls over time, but for many immigrant groups it never closes

Receiving countries' perspectives : the case of Sweden

Trends in the returns to social assimilation : earnings premiums among U.S. immigrants that marry natives

Using data from the 1980-2000 U.S. censuses and the 2005- 2010 American Community Surveys, we show that these wage premiums have increased over time. Our evidence suggests that...

Immigration : How Does It Impact the Wages of Native Workers?

Gana, Rajaram - 2018

I have worried about the talk, in recent times, that immigrants hurt the wages of native workers in the host nation. If so, that is not a good outcome. Why should native workers lose out to immigrants? To come to terms with my worry, I began to experiment with a classic dataset on immigrants and...
