The Labour Market Effects of Immigration and Emigration in OECD Countries
基于1990年代经合组织国家双边移民存量数据,模拟发现移民提高低教育本地人工资,迁出则降低其工资并加剧国内不平等。
In this paper, we quantify the labor market effects of migration flows in OECD countries during the 1990's based on a new global database on the bilateral stock of migrants, by education level. We simulate various outcomes using an aggregate model of labor markets, parameterized by a range of estimates from the literature. We find that immigration had a positive effect on the wages of less educated natives and it increased or left unchanged the average native wages. Emigration, instead, had a negative effect on the wages of less educated native workers and increased inequality within countries.
