The impact of Syrian refugees on natives’ labor market outcomes in Turkey: evidence from a quasi-experimental design (2017, background): “Card (1990) documents that the Mariel Boatlift of Cubans to Miami in 1980 had virtually zero effect on the labor market outcomes of the existing Miami residents. Hunt (1992) reports that the 1962 Algerian repatriates only had a negligible effect on the labor market outcomes in France.”
The Impact of Immigration: Why Do Studies Reach Such Different Results? (2016, background): “Studies that exploit variation in the immigration shock across both skill-cells and regions (for example, LaLonde and Topel 1991; Card 2009) identify the relative wage effect of immigration by education, as any effects of immigration common to all education groups are differenced out.”
Immigrants' Effect on Native Workers: New Analysis on Longitudinal Data (2016, background): “…among the papers we know, uses an immigration dispersal policy (in Germany) to identify the labor market effects on natives.3 With respect to the outcomes, our analysis is innovative in that it can track three types of variables, both individually and for areas, in the short and in the long run.”
Upskilling: Do Employers Demand Greater Skill When Workers Are Plentiful? (2015, methodology): “22This approach is similar to the “initial immigrant share” methodology used by Card (2009) and others to study the impact of immigrants on native workers.”
Young People and the Great Recession (2011, background): “Card (2009) can find no compelling evidence of a causal impact running from immigration to youth unemployment, though he does argue that competition between unskilled youth and immigrants in the lower tail of the earnings distribution may have increased inequality.”
The Labor Market Impacts of Technological Change: From Unbridled Enthusiasm to Qualified Optimism to Vast Uncertainty (2022, background): “Thus, the high school credential has lost much of its market value, except as a waypoint on the road to higher education (Goldin and Katz, 2008; Card, 2009).”
Why Has Regional Income Convergence in the U.S. Declined (2017, neutral): “Many other authors use a similar identiﬁcation strategy of using historical differences across places and studying national changes in industry, ethnic composition or occupations ( Bartik, 1991; Card, 2009; Autor and Dorn, 2013 ).”
Innovation and Spatial Inequality in Europe and USA (2013, neutral): “David Card (2009) shows that migration has a small effect on inequality in US cities, driven less by the effects on the relative wages of the US born and more by the skills composition of the migrants and so their wages.”
The analytics of the wage effect of immigration (2009, positive): “Imperfect substitution between immigrants and natives Some recent studies (Card 2009; Ottaviano and Peri 2012; Manacorda et al. 2012) argue that immigrants and natives within a skill group are imperfect substitutes—and that the resulting complementarities may greatly attenuate the adverse wage…”
Has ICT Polarized Skill Demand? Evidence from Eleven Countries over Twenty-Five Years (2014, background): “…about reverse causation, we reestimate the baseline speciﬁcation of column 1 in table 14 The difference in the importance of ICT for the middle and lowest skill groups implies that high school graduates are not perfect substitutes for college graduates as Card (2009) argues in the U.S. context.”
