Occupation–education mismatch of immigrant workers in Europe: Context and policies (2013, background): “By doing so, we confirm the independence of selection and sorting suggested by Grogger and Hanson (2011) in the setting of occupational matching.”
Migration and Development: Dissecting the Anatomy of the Mobility Transition (2017, background): “(6)Other studies showed that the levels of income per capita and return to schooling at destination are key determinants of the size and skill composition of international migration flows (see among others [34], [52], [44]).”
The Migration Response to Increasing Temperatures (2016, methodology): “Following strong evidence from the existing literature (Grogger and Hanson (2011) and Ortega and Peri (2012)) we assume the rich country has higher median wage and higher skill premium than the poor and middle-income countries.”
Multilateral Resistance to Migration (2013, neutral): “As recalled in the introduction, the traditional estimation approach in the migration literature assumes that the bilateral migration rate can be expressed as a function of origin and destination characteristics only (Hanson, 2010). This approach, which has been adopted by Clark, Hatton, and William”
A practitioners' guide to gravity models of international migration (2016, neutral): “Grogger and Hanson (2011), Llull (2011) and Belot and Hatton (2012) have used stocks for the numerator, but this choice creates a tension with the underlying micro-foundation of the gravity equation, unless one assumes a frictionless world.”
International Migration with Heterogeneous Agents: Theory and Evidence for Germany, 1967-2009 (2006, neutral): “the seminal contributions by Hatton (1995), Mayda (2010), and Pederson, Pytlikova, and Smith (2008).”
An Elementary Theory of Comparative Advantage (2009, background): “Epple and Romer (1991), Champonnois (2006), Banerjee and Newman (1993), Grogger and Hanson (2008), and Garicano and Rossi-Hansberg (2006), respectively.”
Underinvestment in a Profitable Technology: The Case of Seasonal Migration in Bangladesh (2014, background): “…the returns to migration is the subject of a very large literature, but one that has been hampered by difficult selection issues (Akee 2010; Grogger and Hanson 2011).2 Most closely related to our work are a small number of experimental and quasiexperimental studies of the effects of…”
The Cross-country Determinants of Potential and Actual Migration 1 (2014, background): “…for country-of-origin characteristics – the share of people who would potentially migrate from o to d among all individuals, pso;d , depends positively on the returns and negatively on the costs of migrating from o to d (see Borjas, 1987; or Grogger and Hanson, 2011 for a similar framework).”
International Migration and the Economics of Language (2014, methodology): “After all, Grogger and Hanson (2011) found that the conventional common language variable was highly significant in their model that has a focus on stocks, rather than annual flows.”
The Economic Consequences of the International Migration of Labor (2008, neutral): “Source: Grogger & Hanson (2008).”
