Immigration and the Earnings of Young Native Workers

Rudolf Winter-Ebmer and Josef Zweimüller ()

Oxford Economic Papers, 1996, vol. 48, issue 3, 473-91

Abstract: This paper studies the impact of increased immigration in Austria on the wages of young native blue collar workers. The authors find that in regions, industries, or firms with a larger foreign share, Austrian earn higher wages. With respect to the impact of changes in the immigrant share on wage growth, the results are mixed. The authors develop a simple bargaining model which is consistent with these surprising results.
