Introduction to the Labour Economics special issue on immigration economics
This article introduces the Labour Economics Special Issue on Immigration Economics. We summarize the twelve papers that were selected for publication and outline their contributions to the broader migration literature. The articles are grouped into four blocks: Citizenship and Discrimination, The Political Economy of Refugee Integration, Labour Market Effects of Immigration, and Immigration, Skills and Education
Occupational Recognition and Immigrant Labor Market Outcomes
We analyze how the formal recognition of foreign qualifications affects immigrants’ labor market outcomes. The empirical analysis is based on a novel German data set that links respondents’ survey information to their administrative records, allowing us to observe immigrants at monthly intervals before, during, and after their application for occupational recognition. We find that 3 years after obtaining recognition, immigrants earn 19.8% higher …

The Labor Market Impact of Immigration
With the fall of the Berlin Wall, ethnic Germans living in eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union were given the opportunity to migrate to Germany. Within 15 years, 2.8 million individuals had done so. Upon arrival, these immigrants were exogenously allocated to different regions to ensure an even distribution across the country. Their inflow can therefore be seen as a quasi-experiment of immigration. I analyze the effect of these inflows on …
Migration and Education
Employment, wages, and the economic cycle
The Economic Situation of First and Second‐Generation Immigrants in France, Germany and the United Kingdom
A central concern about immigration is the integration into the labour market, not only of the first generation but also of subsequent generations. Little comparative work exists for Europe's largest economies. France, Germany and the UK have all become, perhaps unwittingly, countries with large immigrant populations albeit with very different ethnic compositions. Today, the descendants of these immigrants live and work in their parents’ destinat…
The labour market impact of immigration
In the first part of this paper, we present a stylized model of the labour market impact of immigration. We then discuss mechanisms through which an economy can adjust to immigration: changes in factor prices, output mix, and production technology. In the second part, we explain the problems of empirically estimating how immigration affects labour market outcomes of the resident population and review some strategies to address these. We then summ…
