Immigration is one of the most divisive political issues in United States, Kingdom, France, and several other Western countries. We estimate impact immigration on voting for far-left far-right candidates using panel data presidential elections from 1988 to 2017. To derive causal estimates, we instrument more recent flows by settlement patterns 1968. find that increases support candidates. This driven low-educated immigrants non-Western also has a weak negative effect candidates, which could...

Abstract The literature on the impact of immigration labor market is highly controversial. aim this paper to review existing and draw some general conclusions how wages employment respond immigration. Economic studies indicate that average wage native workers null or slightly positive. However, because adjustments take time, immediate effects unexpected (as opposed expected) migration episodes can be detrimental. Immigration also have distributional consequences. In particular, skill...

Abstract The share of the foreign‐born population in member countries OECD is increasing, and this article summarizes economics research on effects immigration those nations. Four broad topics are addressed: labour market issues, fiscal questions, political economy immigration, productivity international trade. Extreme concerns about deleterious impacts following from new immigrants not found to be warranted. However, it also clear that government policies practices regarding selection...

Abstract This paper investigates the dynamics of wage adjustment to an exogenous increase in labor supply exploiting sudden and unexpected inflow repatriates France resulting from Algerian independence 1962. I measure impact this particular shift on average pre-existing native workers across French regions between 1962 1976. find that regional wages decreased 1968, before returning their pre-shock level 15 years after. also investigate skill-specific response penetration high low educated...

Abstract This paper investigates the immigration impact on native outcomes using microlevel data for France. I find that does not affect wages of competing natives, but induces adverse employment effects. finding is consistent with a wage structure rigid in The quality allows to dig more deeply into interpretation impact. First, show immigrants displace workers because they are willing work at lower due outside options. Second, natives short-term contracts, who less subject rigidities, do...

Abstract We quantify the overall impact of immigration on native wages in F rance from 1990 to 2010. Our short‐run simulations indicate that has decreased by 0.6%. find average no long run. However, we show long‐run effects are detrimental high‐skilled workers and benefits low‐skilled workers. structural estimation allows us evaluate “selective” migration policies. In particular, selective policies toward highly educated reduce wage dispersion French

L'existence d'une discrimination raciale à l'embauche sur le marché du travail est désormais largement documentée dans la plupart des économies occidentales.

Abstract This article investigates the role immigrants and their native-born children play in shaping native attitudes toward European Union. By exploiting 2017 Special Eurobarometer on immigrant integration, we show that countries with a relatively high share of are more likely to believe burden welfare system worsen crime. In contrast, opinions impact immigration culture labor market unrelated presence immigrants. We also find effects second-generation pro-immigrant security fiscal...

Abstract This paper investigates how immigration can affect the labor market outcomes of native workers when their wages are rigid. I use a rich dataset for France and decompose according to whether they covered by fixed-term or indefinite-term contracts. Indefinite-term contracts associated with higher wage protection than that allow firms adjust as expire. an empirical methodology which captures direct effects immigrant-induced increase in supply on natives who have similar skills. find...

Immigration has become one of the most divisive political issues in United States, Kingdom, France and several other Western countries. We estimate impact immigration on voting for far-left far-right candidates France, using panel data presidential elections from 1988 to 2017. To derive causal estimates, we instrument more recent flows by past settlement patterns 1968. find that increases support no robust effect voting. The increased is driven low educated immigrants non-Western

This paper exploits the non-linearity in level of minimum wages across U.S. States created by coexistence federal and state regulations to investigate labor market effects immigration. We find that impact immigration on employment native workers within a given state-skill cell is more negative with low for education experience. That is, wage tends protect from competition induced low-skill The results are robust instrumenting effective wages, implementing difference-in-differences approach...

Immigrant supply shocks are typically expected to reduce the wage of comparable workers. Natives may respond lower by moving markets that were not directly targeted immigrants and where presumably did drop. This paper argues change observed in market depends only on size native response, but also which natives choose respond. A non-random response alters composition sample workers, mechanically changing average affected biasing estimated impact immigration. We document importance this...

This paper investigates the dynamics of wage adjustment to an exogenous increase in labor supply by exploiting sudden and unexpected inflow repatriates France created independence Algeria 1962. I track impact this particular shift on average pre-existing native workers across French regions 1962, 1968 1976. find that regional wages decline between 1962 1968, before returning their pre-shock level 15 years after. While recovered, shock had persistent distributional effects. By increasing...
