Short-Run Demand for Palestinian Labor
研究在以色列工作的巴勒斯坦人工资溢价波动，分析外生冲击如何沿以色列对移民工人的需求曲线移动，并评估政策对巴勒斯坦人进入以色列劳动力市场的影响。
Palestinian residents of the West Bank and Gaza Strip who work in Israel generally earn more than Palestinians employed locally, but this wage premium is highly volatile. Beginning with the 1987 Palestinian uprising, changes in wage differentials by work location parallel Palestinian absences from work in Israel. This article interprets changing location differentials in response to exogenous shocks as movements along an Israeli demand curve for migrant workers. Estimates of a model of the West Bank and Gaza Strip labor market are used to evaluate the effect of policies governing Palestinian access to the Israeli labor market.
