Nanos, Panagiotis; Schluter, Christian - In: European Economic Review 65 (2014) C, pp. 23-44
We consider the role of unobservables, such as differences in search frictions, reservation wages, and productivities for the explanation of wage differentials between migrants and natives. We disentangle these by estimating an empirical general equilibrium search model with on-the-job search...
