What Happens to the Careers of European Workers When Immigrants “Take Their Jobs”?
研究1995-2001年欧洲本土工人数据,发现移民流入促使本地工人转向更高技能和地位的职业,且未增加失业风险。
Following a representative longitudinal sample of native European residents over the period 1995–2001, we identify the effect of the inflows of immigrants on natives' career, employment, and wages. We control for individual, country- year, occupation group- year, and occupation group- country heterogeneity and shocks, and construct an imputed inflow of the foreign-born population that is exogenous to local demand shocks. We find that native European workers are more likely to move to occupations associated with higher skills and status when a larger number of immigrants enters their labor market. We find no evidence of an increase in their probability of becoming unemployed.
