Immigration and the Human Capital of Natives
利用美国数据发现，低技能移民流入促使本地居民提升学业表现、增加受教育年限，并转向沟通密集型工作，从而缓解移民对本地工资的负面影响。
Abstract Large low-skilled immigration flows influence both the distribution of local school resources and also local relative wages, which exert counterbalancing pressures on the local return to schooling. I use the National Education Longitudinal Study (NELS:88) and U.S. Census data to show that low-skilled immigration to an area induces local natives to improve their performance in school, attain more years of schooling, and take jobs that involve communication-intensive tasks for which they (native English speakers) have a comparative advantage. These results point out mechanisms that mitigate the potentially negative effect of immigration on natives' wages.
