The Impact Of Immigration On The Structure Of Wages: Theory And Evidence From Britain (2012, unknown): “Lewis (2005) in particular points out that capital technique may change following a migration-induced change in the labour supply mix, so that adjustment might not manifest in wage changes.”
Do concerns about labor market competition shape attitudes toward immigration? New evidence☆ (2015, unknown): “…(Borjas et al., 1996; Borjas, 1997, 1999, 2003, 2006b), but many other studies conclude that the impacts of immigration are ﬂ eetingly small (Card, 1990, 2001, 2005, 2007; Lewis, 2005), and some studies even report overall positive long-term effects for local workers Ottaviano and Peri (2012).”
Was Postwar Suburbanization "White Flight"? Evidence from the Black Migration (2010, unknown): “Card (2001), Lewis (2005), and Doms and Lewis (2006) use a similar approach to study the effect of immigration on local labor markets.”
Attenuation Bias in Measuring the Wage Impact of Immigration (2011, background): “Alternative modes of market adjustment are studied by Lewis (2005), who examines the link between immigration and the input mix used by firms, and Saiz (2003), who examines how rental prices adjusted to the Mariel immigrant influx.”
Attitudes toward Highly Skilled and Low-skilled Immigration: Evidence from a Survey Experiment (2010, background): “3 Some studies claim large, adverse wage and employment effects of immigration on less educated workers (Borjas 1999, 2003, 2005; Borjas, Freeman, and Katz 1996, 1997), whereas others conclude that the immigration effects are at most very small, and possibly insignificant (Card 1990, 2001, 2007; Lew”
The Labor Market Impact of Immigration: A Quasi-Experiment Exploiting Immigrant Location Rules in Germany (2012, background): “…adjustments through compensatory population flows as well as changes in the output mix and production technology of the local economy, both channels which would tend to reduce the effect on relative local labor market outcomes (see, for example, González and Ortega, 2009; Lewis, 2004, 2005).”
The potential of temporary migration programmes in future international migration policy (2006, unknown): “…(ii) the active regulation of the cost at which migrant workers are made available to employers; and (iii) more effective 20 Recent research by Lewis (2005, 2004) shows that the growth in less-skilled labour supply has slowed the adoption of automation technology in selected plants in US…”
Economic Explanations for Opposition to Immigration: Distinguishing between Prevalence and Conditional Impact (2013, background): “…within a given education category have extremely heterogeneous skill sets that are 8 These findings are a source of much disagreement, as other scholars either argue that the labor-market effects are marginal (Card 1990, 2001, 2005; Lewis 2005) or even slightly positive (Ottaviano and Peri 2008).”
The Effect of Low‐Skilled Immigration on U.S. Prices: Evidence from CPI Data (2008, background): “Lewis (2005), however, claims that local economies are the relevant unit of observation, but that the technologies of local firms—rather than the wages that they offer—respond to changes in local skill mix associated with immigration.”
The labour market impact of immigration (2008, background): “Recent empirical evidence that on the job computer use as well as automation expand most rapidly in those areas where the relative supply of skilled labour grows fastest points towards the importance of this adjustment channel (Beaudry, Doms and Lewis 2006, Doms and Lewis 2006, and Lewis 2005 ).”
How do Very Open Economies Absorb Large Immigration Flows? Recent Evidence from Spanish Regions (2011, background): “On this basis, we label each of these groups as low, medium, and high skilled, and equate them to the education groups used throughout the paper: high-school dropouts, high-school graduates, and college graduates.23 22 See also the discussion on the availability of wage data for Spain in footnote 8.”
