Winners and losers: Domestic workers profit from immigration

Abstract

"A new approach has made it possible to estimate the wage and employment effects of immigration simultaneously. What becomes apparent is that domestic workers profit from immigration because their wages rise and their risk of unemployment sinks. On the other hand, the foreigners who already live in the country lose out perceptibly." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))
