Wage effects caused by migration: an empirical study for Germany

Abstract

"The article examines the effects that the migration of foreign workers has on the wages of indigenous workers. Using a cross-sectional sample of the employment statistics for 1990, a translog production function is estimated in which foreign and indigenous workers are differentiated according to their position in the occupation. The estimated results imply negligibly low wage effects caused by migration." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))
