Local Labor Supply Responses to Immigration
利用马来西亚1990-2010年劳动力数据，估计移民对本地居民在多个广泛边际上的响应，发现移民增加导致本地居民大量向内迁移，且效应集中于中低技能群体。
Abstract How natives adjust is central to an understanding of the impact of immigration in destination countries. Using detailed labor force data for Malaysia for 1990–2010, we provide estimates of native responses to immigration on multiple extensive margins and rare evidence for a developing country. Instrumental variable estimates show that increased immigration to a state causes substantial internal inward migration, consistent with the fact that immigration increases the demand for native workers. Relocating Malaysian workers are accompanied by their spouses (three‐quarters of whom are housewives) and children who attend school. We find that these effects are concentrated among middle‐ and lower‐skilled Malaysians.
