MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany

Abstract: This paper examines the imperfect substitutability between foreign workers and native residents in Japan. It utilizes a production function to analyze how foreign workers impact native wage rates, employing data from Japan's Basic Wage Structure Survey. The study finds significant, yet theoretically unexpected results regarding the wage rate and annual income ratios between native and foreign workers. Despite the significance of its findings, the paper acknowledges limitations and the need for further research, especially concerning classification by residency status.
