The immigration–unemployment nexus: do education and Protestantism matter?
利用1850-2010年阿根廷、澳大利亚等六国的数据，研究发现受教育程度高和来自新教国家的移民能显著降低失业率，而低教育水平和非新教移民则加剧失业。
Using annual data from 1850 to 2010 for Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, New Zealand, and the USA, this paper examines the impact of immigration and the immigrants’ educational and cultural background on unemployment. Instruments for 27 emigrating countries are used to deal with the feedback effects from unemployment to immigration. The results show that educated immigrants, in particular, and immigrants from Protestant countries significantly reduce unemployment, while poorly educated and non-Protestant immigrants enhance unemployment.
