Abstract: We study the effects of ethnic diversity, measured by the share of immigrants in the total population in the EU member countries, on the number of establishments and employment in the EU. We distinguish between different industries and between different groups of source (migrant-sending) countries; i.e., Eastern European Countries (EECs) and Mediterranean Countries (MPCs). We use a panel data that covers the period 1988-2010, and find that migration from MPCs to the EU has a positive impact on both the number of enterprises and employment, especially in light manufacturing industries. Also migration from MPCs to the EU positively affects employment in construction and heavy manufacturing industries. Similarly, migration from EECs to the EU positively affects employment, especially in food and beverages industries. See above See above
