This paper analyzes the role of ethnic communities in shaping the recent immigration boom to Spain. We find that ethnic communities exerted a strong positive effect on the scale and a strong negative effect on the skill structure of this immigration. Unlike previous studies, we explicitly...

This paper provides new evidence on migrant networks as determinants of the total size (scale) and skill structure of migration, using aggregate data from a recent migration boom to Spain. We draw upon McFadden (1984, 1422-1428) in order to develop and apply a three-level nested multinomial...

This paper provides new evidence on migrant networks as determinants of the scale and skill structure of migration, using aggregate data from a recent migration boom to Spain. We develop a three-level nested multinomial logit migration model. Our model accommodates varying degrees of similarity...

Die Mobilität von Erwerbspersonen innerhalb der Europäischen Union - gemessen anhand des Anteils der EU-Ausländer in Ländern der EU-15 an allen EU-Erwerbspersonen - ist im Zeitraum von 2007 bis 2012 um etwa ein Viertel auf knapp 3,1 Prozent gestiegen. Dies ist vor allem auf vermehrte...

The mobility of the labor force within the European Union--measured as the proportion of EU foreigners in EU-15 countries to the total EU labor force -- increased by approximately one-quarter to almost 3.1 percent from 2007 to 2012. This is primarily due to increased migration of persons from...
