Undocumented Immigration and Unemployment of U.S. Youth and Minority Workers: Econometric Evidence
基于美国人口普查数据，分析非法移民分布与青年及少数族裔失业率的关系，发现非法移民并未显著增加这些群体的失业，反而倾向于集中在劳动力市场更有利的州。
We use Census-based data on the state distribution of the undocumented-alien population in analyzing the relationship between that population and unemployment among youth and minority workers [in the United States]. Regression results from our two-equation models do not support commonly-expressed fears that undocumented immigration has caused any substantial increases in joblessness among these presumably vulnerable groups although small amounts of displacement are indicated. A sizeable reverse effect is evident: undocumented immigrants tend to concentrate in states where labor markets for these marginal groups are most favorable. (EXCERPT)
