The Economic Consequences of the International Migration of Labor (2008, unknown): “More generally, Borjas, Grogger, and Hanson (2008) show that across a wide variety of specifications one cannot reject the hypothesis that comparably skilled immigrants and natives are perfect substitutes in employment, in line with earlier work by Jaeger (1997).”
Migration and Wage‐setting: Reassessing the Labor Market Effects of Migration* (2011, unknown): “…wage and employment effects of immigration simultaneously in a wage-setting framework, while it follows the standard approach to identify 1Recently, Borjas, Grogger, and Hanson (2008) argue that the findings of Ottaviano and Peri (2006) are the result of a misclassification of skill groups, while…”
The labour market impact of immigration (2008, background): “Thus their study seems to suggest that there are some 3 See Borjas, Grogger and Hanson (2008) for a critical evaluation of this study.”
The Labor Market Impact of Immigration: A Quasi-Experiment Exploiting Immigrant Location Rules in Germany (2012, background): “Whether this is necessary is currently still a matter of debate in the literature (see Borjas et al., 2008).”
The Impact Of Immigration On The Structure Of Wages: Theory And Evidence From Britain (2012, unknown): “14 Borjas et al. (2008) suggest that the early results by Ottaviano and Peri (2006) depend partly on the inclusion of marginal workers (students and part time-workers), whose wage is a poor measure of the “marginal price of labor”.”
IMMIGRATION AND WAGES: EVIDENCE FROM CONSTRUCTION * (2012, unknown): “In recent years, there has been renewed interest in the labor market consequences of immigration, with added focus on placing empirical estimates in the context of labor demand theory (Card, 2001; 2009; Borjas, 2003; Ottaviano and Peri, 2006; 2008; Manacorda et al, 2007, Borjas et al, 2008).”

The analytics of the wage effect of immigration (2009, unknown): “32As pointed out by Borjas et al. 2008, 2012, however, the original Ottaviano and Peri (2005) study made sampling decisions that contaminated the analysis.”
The Making of Modern America: Migratory Flows in the Age of Mass Migration (2012, background): “…has implications for the causal impact immigrants have on natives in host country labor markets [Angrist and Kugler 2003, Ottaviano and Peri 2006, Borjas et al. 2008].29 On the longer term impacts on sending country economies, establishing rates of out-migration sheds light on the benefits that…”
The Great Mexican Emigration (2010, background): “Many high school dropouts in the United States appear to have a weak attachment to the labor force (Borjas et al., 2008), meaning they may not compete with full-time immigrant workers for jobs.”
