The Incidence of Sanctions Against Employers of Illegal Aliens
利用1980年美国人口普查数据,识别移民局重点监控的行业,通过一般均衡分析评估对非法移民雇主的制裁如何影响资源分配、收入分配及合法工人的实际工资。
This article assesses the significance of sanctions against employers of illegal aliens for resource allocation and income distribution in the United States. Data from the 1980 Census of Population are used to identify the industries likely to be monitored most closely by the immigration authorities. A general equilibrium incidence analysis is then carried out using alternative assumptions about the overall level of enforcement. Estimates are made of the effects sanctions will have on the real wages of legal U.S. workers. Copyright 1990 by University of Chicago Press.
