Immigration and the Top 1 Percent
Using administrative data on the universe of U.K. taxpayers, we study the contribution of migrants to the rise in U.K. top incomes.

These high incomes are predominantly from labor, rather than capital, and migrants are concentrated in only a handful of industries, predomina…

We show that these 'missing incomes' chan…
