Minimum Wages and the Labor Market / Anthony Edo    

Public ISBD Titre : Minimum Wages and the Labor Market : Effects of Immigration Type de document : document électronique Auteurs : Anthony Edo, Auteur ; Hillel Rapoport, Auteur Editeur : Paris [France] : CEPII Année de publication : juin 2017 Collection : Working Paper num. 12 Importance : 83 p Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Migrations Amérique du Nord Tags : Etats Unis  Revenu minimum  Marché du travail  Migrations Résumé : This paper exploits the non-linearity in the level of minimum wages across U.S. States created by the coexistence of federal and state regulations to investigate how the prevalence of minimum wages affects the labor market impact of immigration. We find that the effects of immigration on the wages and employment of native workers within a given state-skill cell are more negative in U.S. States with low minimum wages (i.e., where the federal minimum wage is binding). The results are robust to instrumenting immigration and state effective minimum wages, and to implementing a difference-in-differences approach comparing U.S. States where effective minimum wages are fully determined by the federal minimum wage over the whole period considered (2000-2013) to U.S. States where this is never the case. This paper thus underlines the important role played by minimum wages in mitigating any adverse labor market effects of low-skill immigration.

Who is Afraid of the Brain Drain? / Hillel Rapoport    

Public ISBD Titre : Who is Afraid of the Brain Drain? : A Development Economist’s View Type de document : document électronique Auteurs : Hillel Rapoport, Auteur Editeur : Paris [France] : CEPII Année de publication : 2017 Collection : Policy Brief num. 14 Importance : 8 p Langues : Anglais (eng) Tags : Fuite des cerveaux Résumé : In “Debating Brain Drain”, Brock and Blake (2015) discuss the pros and cons of high-skill mobility prevention to curb the brain drain from developing countries from a legal and political perspective. I complement this discussion with the insights from recent economic research on brain drain, globalization and development. Two main results are emphasized: the fact that educational investments are higher when high-skill migration is not constrained, and the role of skilled diasporas in promoting the integration of migrants’ home countries into the global economy. Both results strengthen the rationale for letting skilled people go.
