To move or not to move? Immigration and natives’ neighborhood choices in Seoul, Korea
利用首尔行政数据，研究移民流入对本地居民搬迁决策的双重影响：每增加10名移民，社区流失超过6名本地人，但部分本地工人因工作机会被吸引到移民流入区。
Abstract We investigate the impact of an increase in immigrant inflows on natives’ residential choices in a large metropolitan city. We utilize an administrative dataset containing information about residential address changes and self-reported reasons for relocation. Exploiting the expansion of a special visa program as an exogenous shock, we find that immigration inflows are both a push and a pull factor for natives. While neighborhoods in Seoul lost more than 6 natives for every 10 additional immigrants between 2006 and 2015, certain native workers were drawn to areas with immigrant inflows for job-related reasons.
