Because the data provide extensive information about relevant characte…
Foreign Credential Recognition and Immigrants’ Chances of Being Hired for Skilled Jobs—Evidence from a Survey Experiment Among Employers
A large body of empirical research has demonstrated that foreign education is a major cause of ethnic disadvantages in the labor market.

We develop a research …
