    Canadian migration destinations of recent immigrants and interprovincial migrants: similarities, differences and explanations (2015)
    SpringerOpen
    Details
    Publikationsdatum: 2015-08-11
    Beschreibung: Canadian Census data for 1981–2006 is used to document substantial differences in the destination locations of immigrants and interprovincial migrants. These differences have increased over time as have differences in the characteristics of the two migrant groups. Differences in age, education, and marital status of the two migrant groups explain little of the observed differences. Visible minority status and language differences are somewhat more important; however, much of the difference in migrant group destinations cannot be explained by measured characteristics.

    Born abroad and educated here: examining the impacts of education and skill mismatch among immigrant graduates in Europe (2015)
    SpringerOpen
    Details
    Publikationsdatum: 2015-09-11
    Beschreibung: This paper examines the wage and job satisfaction effects of over-education and overskilling among migrants graduating from EU-15 based universities in 2005. Female migrants with shorter durations of domicile were found to have a higher likelihood of overskilling. Newly arrived migrants incurred wage penalties which were exacerbated by additional penalties resulting from overskilling in the male labour market and overeducation in the female labour market. Established migrants were found to enjoy wage premia, with no evidence of disproportionate wage impacts arising as a consequence of mismatch. Female migrants were found to have a lower probability of being job satisfied.JEL Classification Keywords: 1J21, J31, J61, Overeducation, Overskilling, Mismatch, Migrants, Gender, Pay, Job satisfaction.

    Better migrants, better PISA results: Findings from a natural experiment (2015)
    SpringerOpen
    Details
    Publikationsdatum: 2015-09-26
    Beschreibung: Switzerland changed its migration policy in the 1990s from a “non-qualified only” policy to one of almost free movement of labor. To analyze the impact of this policy change on the schooling outcomes of children of first-generation migrants, the paper compares the PISA results of first-generation pupils in 2000 with the scores of children tested in 2009, whose parents immigrated after the policy changed. We find that around 75% of the 40-point increase in the PISA score of first-generation immigrant students was due to changes in the individual background characteristics of their parents and to improved school composition.Jel codes: I21, I24, J15.

    Ethnic identity: a theoretical framework (2015)
    SpringerOpen
    Details
    Publikationsdatum: 2015-05-27
    Beschreibung: We present a basic theoretical framework of ethnic identity, i.e., the level of immigrant's commitment to his or her host society as well as the immigrant's commitment to his or her home society. Our model can explain the emerging empirical literature which studies the effect of the immigrants' characteristics, such as age, gender, education, religion, age at arrival, stock of immigrants in the host country, etc., on their ethnic identity (such as the Ethnosizer). In addition, this paper can be used as a basis for future empirical and theoretical research on this topic.JEL classification: F22, J15, Z13.

    How do migrants save? Evidence from the British Household Panel Survey on temporary and permanent migrants versus natives (2015)
    SpringerOpen
    Details
    Publikationsdatum: 2015-06-13
    Beschreibung: This paper investigates the saving behavior of migrants in the UK across different dimensions, i.e., comparing temporary versus permanent migrants and migrants versus natives. Established theoretical predictions show that migrants save more when they plan to stay in the destination only temporarily as target savers. Our empirical evidence takes into account the contemporaneous choice of savings and remittances. Moreover, when comparing the saving profiles of both natives and migrants, we uncover the weight of observable socio‐economic characteristics other than income and wealth. We use the British Household Panel Survey for the period 1991‐2008. The estimation results confirm that temporary migrants have a propensity to save 26 per cent higher than permanent migrants in UK. We also introduce an index of financial capability adjusted for income as an explanatory variable and, when employing the Blinder‐Oaxaca decomposition for the Tobit model of saving choice, migrants are more affected by observable social‐economic characteristics than natives.JEL classification: F22; D91; C40

    Earnings differentials between immigrants and natives: the role of occupational attainment (2015)
    SpringerOpen
    Details
    Publikationsdatum: 2015-05-09
    Beschreibung: This paper brings new evidence to the existing literature on earnings differentials and returns to human capital for immigrants and natives. It is the first paper analysing this topic using data drawn from the Italian Labour Force Survey, a large nationally representative dataset. We show that returns to human capital are considerably lower for immigrants as compared to natives and that there is no return to pre-immigration work experience, suggesting imperfect transferability of human capital. In the second part of the paper we explore models of occupational attainment among immigrants and the native born. Our findings suggest that, contrary to what is observed for natives, immigrants’ human capital does not contribute to getting access to high-paying occupations.JEL classificationJ31, J24, J61, F22

    Does intermarriage change migrants’ preferences for the home country? (2015)
    SpringerOpen
    Details
    Publikationsdatum: 2015-05-01
    Beschreibung: Motivations for migrants to return clearly change with integration, but the time-changing aspect of return migration has received little attention in the literature. This paper studies how migrants’ preferences for the home country change with intermarriage, i.e., marriage to a spouse from the host country. Specifically, I analyse the association between intermarriage and three outcomes related to migrants’ home country preference – intentions to return, remittances sent and actual return – using German panel data (SOEP) for the period 1984–2012. The results reveal a negative association between intermarriage and home country preference that is moreover stronger for female than for male migrants. However, some of the effect seems driven by selection since the relationship gets weaker once I control for person fixed effects.Keywords: Return migration, Intermarriage, Intentions to return, Remittances.
