Economic Impacts of Immigration: A Survey (2011, background): “Lucas (2004) and Aydemir and Borjas (2007) compared immigration policies in North America.”
The Refugee Surge in Europe; Economic Challenges (2016, background): “…response of native workers’ wages to immigration, and documents a more sizable negative effect when considering the national U.S. labor market for workers of different skills, accounting for internal migration or correcting measurement issues (Borjas 2003, 2006; Aydemir and Borjas 2007, 2011).”
Immigration and Wage Dynamics: Evidence from the Mexican Peso Crisis (2020, methodology): “5See Card (2009), Ottaviano and Peri (2012), Aydemir and Borjas (2011), Dustmann and Preston (2012), Borjas (2003) and Borjas and Katz (2007) 6In this case I can also use an adapted version of the immigration network instrument.”
STEM Workers, H-1B Visas, and Productivity in US Cities (2015, unknown): “Aydemir and Borjas (2011) show how measurement error may produce attenuation bias when estimating the causal e ﬀ ect of immigrants on native outcomes.”
Crime and Immigration: Evidence from Large Immigrant Waves (2013, unknown): “However, using survey data to estimate the stock of immigrants at lower-level geographies - such as local authorities - may introduce substantial attenuation bias (see Aydemir and Borjas, 2011).”
Labor Supply Shocks, Native Wages, and the Adjustment of Local Employment (2017, result): “As a result, in our analysis, sampling error in the migration-induced supply shock, which attenuates estimates of its impact on native labor market outcomes (Aydemir and Borjas 2011), is close to zero.”
Skilled migration and innovation in European industries (2019, background): “This might lead to attenuation bias problems in the estimation of the coefficients of interest (Aydemir and Borjas, 2011).”
Migration and Wage‐setting: Reassessing the Labor Market Effects of Migration* (2011, background): “Some recent studies exploit therefore the variance of the immigrant share across education and experience groups at the national level for the identification of the employment impact of migration on the native or foreign workforce (Aydemir and Borjas, 2007; Bonin, 2005; D’Amuri, Ottaviano, and Peri,”
The Impact Of Immigration On The Structure Of Wages: Theory And Evidence From Britain (2012, unknown): “…changes in the supply of immigrants on the wage structure, we need a measure of immigrant labor supply that is as free as possible of measurement error that would otherwise attenuate the estimate of immigration on the wage structure, a problem also highlighted by Aydemir and Borjas (2006b).”
