Why are some EU immigrant groups more disadvantaged on the German labor market than others
Limited transferability of foreign human capital and limited signaling value of foreign degrees are important explanations for immigrants’ labor market disadvantages. While previous scholarship analysed the role of institutional settings in home countries in shaping this limited transferability and signaling value, scholars did not investigate whether similarities between institutional settings of immigrants’ host and home countries matter. This …
The causal effect of liberalizing legal requirements on naturalization intentions
This study investigates the multifaceted factors influencing immigrants’ naturalization intentions, with a primary focus on legal requirements and the implementation of naturalization laws. It distinguishes between different groups of non-citizens, such as refugees, European Union (EU) citizens, and non-EU citizens. Employing a vignette experiment among non-citizens in a large-scale representative data in Germany—the German Socioeconomic Panel (i…
Who is Replaced by Robots? Robotization and the Risk of Unemployment for Different Types of Workers
We study the effects of robotization on unemployment risk for different types of workers. We examine the extent to which robotization increases inequality at the skill level and at the occupational level using two theoretical frameworks: skill-biased technological change and task-biased technological change. Empirically, we combine worker-level data with information on actual investments in industrial robots. Zooming in on the German manufacturin…
Once outside, always outside? The link between overeducation persistence and training systems throughout the employment career
To work or to study? Postmigration educational investments of adult refugees in Germany – Evidence from a choice experiment
Was hält Frauen von beruflichen Positionen fern? Ein faktorieller Survey zum Einfluss der Gestaltung einer Stellenausschreibung auf deren Attraktivitätseinschätzung
Berufliche Geschlechtersegregation produziert und reproduziert soziale Ungleichheit zwischen den Geschlechtern. Vor diesem Hintergrund steht in diesem Artikel die Wahrnehmung von Stellenausschreibungen im Fokus. Wenn Frauen einzelne Merkmale einer Stellenausschreibung für mehr oder weniger attraktiv halten, kann dies zur beruflichen Geschlechtersegregation beitragen. Wir fragen, wie sowohl die sprachliche Gestaltung einer Stellenausschreibung als…
Immigrants’ Labour Market Disadvantages Across Western Europe: The Role of Composition and Context
This paper examines why some Western European countries are more successful in integrating immigrants into the labour market than others. Using data from the Programme for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIAAC), we show how the country-specific immigrant composition and context of reception contribute to immigrants’ disadvantages across receiving countries. Because the data provide extensive information about relevant characte…
The Role of Reciprocity in the Creation of Reputation
Although reputation has been shown to solve problems of information and opportunism in business relationships, knowledge of the emergence of reputation in business relationships beyond the internet is considerably scarcer. In this article, we argue that in social and economic systems, a norm of reciprocity is an important driver for the transfer of reputation information. A social norm to return favours given by others enhances the flow of inform…
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. However, there are few insights into how these disadvantages of foreign training can be effectively countered. To improve skilled immigrants’ access to positions commensurate with their foreign qualifications, several countries have introduced policies to officially recognize foreign educational credentials. In …
How National Institutions Shape Skilled Immigrants’ Chances of Getting Hired: Evidence from Harmonised Factorial Surveys with Employers in Germany and England
This study provides novel insights into the institutional conditions under which skilled immigrants get hired for skilled jobs in different countries. We argue that immigrants’ hiring chances depend on the interplay between institutions in sending countries, which determine the type of education that immigrants bring, and institutions in receiving countries, which shape employers’ preferences for certain types of education. We develop a research …
Gender composition of occupations and occupational characteristics: Explaining their true relationship by using longitudinal data
The Hiring Prospects of Foreign-Educated Immigrants: A Factorial Survey among German Employers
This article analyses the conditions under which employers grant immigrants access to jobs corresponding to their foreign education. It is often observed that employers prefer native-educated employees and devalue foreign education. We argue that part of this devaluation is due to institutional differences in education systems. Nevertheless, hiring foreign-educated immigrants is becoming a viable strategy for employers given the substantial short…
Occupations as labour market institutions. Occupational regulation and its effects on job matching and occupational closure
Wir definieren Berufe als Institutionen, die das Bildungssystem mit dem Arbeitsmarkt koppeln und argumentieren, dass Berufe idealtypische Anforderungsprofile von Stellenangeboten darstellen. Auf dieser theoretischen Grundlage erarbeiten wir unterschiedliche Mechanismen, wie berufliche Institutionen und deren Regulierung berufliche Qualifikationen definieren und den Zugang zu Berufen und gleichzeitig Mobilität zwischen Berufen strukturieren. Das A…
Economic consequences of occupational deregulation: Natural experiment in the German crafts
This paper provides new evidence of occupational closure and rent-sharing in the labour market. In many labour market segments, occupational closure refers only to self-employed positions, but not to employees within these occupations. We study the relation of changes in entry regulation for firms and the corresponding economic consequences for employees within these firms. Based on bargaining theory, we argue that economic rents are shared with …
You Can Take Some of It with You: A Vignette Study on the Acceptance of Foreign Vocational Certificates and Ethnic Inequality in the German Labor Market
This study investigates to what extent skilled immigrants are granted access to the qualified sectors of the German labor market. Vocational certificates are signals which inform the employer about applicants’ occupational skills. In this national framework, applicants who hold foreign certificates obviously face some serious problems: First, for German employers, foreign certificates will generally provide less information on an applicant’s skil…
Institutionelle Eigenschaften von Berufen und ihr Einfluss auf berufliche Mobilität in Deutschland
Das Ziel des Beitrages ist, berufliche Eigenschaften und Mechanismen zu identifizieren und deren Einfluss auf die berufliche Mobilität auf dem deutschen Arbeitsmarkt empirisch zu überprüfen. Auf Basis der Stichprobe der Integrierten Arbeitsmarktbiografien des Instituts für Arbeitsmarkt- und Berufsforschung (SIAB) wird gezeigt, dass Akteure in Berufen mit einer standardisierten Berufsausbildung eine deutlich geringere Mobilitätsneigung und gleichz…
The Benefits of Migration
Assuming that migration and integration have lasting effects on economic and social processes, this paper analyses if a diverse cultural environment has a positive impact on labour market success. We expect that culturally diverse labour markets provide new opportunities through an open and tolerant climate, thus contributing to overall economic growth. We test this assumption by analysing the successful transition from education to work dependin…
Die ökonomischen Potentiale kultureller Vielfalt: Eine Standortbestimmung deutscher Großstädte
Ein hoher Anteil ausländischer Einwohner ist charakteristisch für die demografische Struktur deutscher Großstädte. So lebt in den sechs größten deutschen Städten ein Fünftel der gesamten ausländischen Bevölkerung Deutschlands, während dort nur knapp ein Zehntel aller deutschen Staatsbürger angesiedelt sind. In diesem Beitrag werden am Beispiel deutscher Großstädte die mit Zuwanderung verknüpften ökonomischen Potentiale der kulturellen Vielfalt de…
