Immigrant Workers and Farm Performance: Evidence from Matched Employer‐Employee Data
利用丹麦农场1980-2008年的匹配雇主-雇员数据，分析发现雇佣移民的农场规模更大且生产率不低，增加移民使用与就业创造和收入提升相关，且部分体现因果效应。
In many developed countries, the agricultural sector has experienced a significant inflow of immigrants. At the same time, agriculture is still in a process of structural transformation, resulting in fewer but larger and presumably more efficient farms. We exploit matched employer‐employee data for Danish farms in 1980–2008 to analyze the micro‐level relationship between these two developments. Farms employing immigrants tend to be both larger than and no less productive than other farms. Furthermore, an increased use of immigrants is associated with an improvement in job creation and revenue, which at least partially seems to reflect a causal effect of immigrants.
