Recruitment of Foreigners in the Market for Computer Scientists in the United States
构建动态模型分析美国计算机科学家市场,模拟发现若限制外国人招聘,2004年计算机科学家工资将提高2.8-3.8%,美国本土就业增加7.0-13.6%,但总就业和产出下降。
We present and calibrate a dynamic model that characterizes the labor market for computer scientists. In our model, firms can recruit computer scientists from recently graduated college students, from STEM workers working in other occupations or from a pool of foreign talent. Counterfactual simulations suggest that wages for computer scientists would have been 2.8-3.8% higher, and the number of Americans employed as computers scientists would have been 7.0-13.6% higher in 2004 if firms could not hire more foreigners than they could in 1994. In contrast, total CS employment would have been 3.8-9.0% lower, and consequently output smaller.
