The composition of wage differentials between migrants and natives

Panagiotis Nanos and Christian Schluter

European Economic Review, 2014, vol. 65, issue C, 23-44

Abstract: We consider the role of unobservables, such as differences in search frictions, reservation wages, and productivities for the explanation of wage differentials between migrants and natives. We disentangle these by estimating an empirical general equilibrium search model with on-the-job search due to Bontemps et al. (1999) on segments of the labour market defined by occupation, age, and nationality using a large scale German administrative dataset.
