This paper contains three important contributions to the literature on international migrations. First, it compiles a new dataset on migration flows and stocks and on immigration laws for 14 OECD destination countries and 74 sending countries for each year over the period 1980-2005. Second, it...

This paper investigates the elements contributing to the change in labor share, with a specific focus on the roles of ‘automation’ and ‘innovation in human tasks.’ We construct a general equilibrium model that distinctly incorporates both robot and non-robot capital to derive an...

This study examines the declining trend in global labor share across countries and sectors, focusing on the roles of robotic innovation (RI) and human innovation (HI). To address potential endogeneity, we construct instrumental variables using US patent data and large language models,...

This study examines the global decline in labor share since the 2005, focusing on the impacts of robotic and human innovation within a general equilibrium framework. Using novel shift-share variables ---operational robot data, patent similarity to automation vocabularies, and cognitive task...

The extremely large disparities in employment rates across Italian regions, and the bad performance of the Italian economy in terms of job creation in the 80´s and early 90´s make job creation a top-priority in the economic policy agenda. This paper uses data on employment from 784 Local Labor...

We adopt a general equilibrium approach in order to measure the effects of recent immigration on the Western German labor market, looking at both wage and employment effects. Using the Regional File of the IAB Employment Subsample for the period 1987-2001, we find that the substantial...

The standard empirical analysis of immigration, based on a simple labor demand and labor supply framework, has emphasized the negative impact of foreign born workers on the average wage of U.S.-born workers (particularly of those without a high school degree). A precise assessment of the average...
