Many European countries restrict immigration from new EU member countries. The rationale is to avoid adverse wage and employment effects. We quantify these effects for Germany. Following Borjas (2003), we estimate a structural model of labor demand, based on elasticities of substitution between...

Sweden did not apply any transitional rules for migrants coming from the ten new European Union member states in May 2004. The migration to Sweden from these countries also increased, especially from Poland and the Baltic states, even if not to the same extent as the immigration to Ireland and...

This paper uses data from the Migrant Samples of the German Socio-Economic Panel to study the fertility behaviour of women who migrated to Germany between 1990 and 2015. Special emphasis is placed on the large groups of migrants who have moved to Germany from Central and Eastern European (CEE)...

Im Bereich der häuslichen Betreuung älterer Menschen haben sich in den vergangenen Jahren verschiedene Beschäftigungsmodelle etabliert, die sich teilweise in einer rechtlichen Grauzone bewegen. Dies bietet Raum für Ausbeutung und betrifft häufig osteuropäische Frauen, die ganz überwiegend...

Zuwanderung aus den neuen EU-Mitgliedsländern hat in den letzten Jahren einen wichtigen Beitrag zur Fachkräftesicherung in Deutschland geleistet. So ist die Zahl der sozialversicherungspflichtig Beschäftigten aus diesen Ländern zwischen Januar 2010 und Mai 2017 von 254.000 auf 1,14 Millionen...

An influential strand of research has tested for the effects of immigration on natives' wages and employment using exogenous refugee supply shocks as natural experiments. Several studies have reached conflicting conclusions about the effects of noted refugee waves such as the Mariel Boatlift in...

Moderating spillovers from the advanced economies during the Great Moderation, the global information technology revolution, the influx of skilled immigrants from the former Soviet Union, the gradual buildup of robust and well-regulated financial institutions over decades after the...

The global economy has been buffeted by several unprecedented economic events during the past 35 years. We survey the impact of these events on Israel's development, institutions, and economic policies. Israel had a remarkable development during this time, from a low income high-inflation...

Durch zurückgehende Geburtenraten, Abwanderung und gewandelte Berufsvorstellungen von Jugendlichen sehen sich landwirtschaftliche Betriebe immer weniger in der Lage, ausscheidende Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeiter durch qualifizierte Nachwuchskräfte zu ersetzen. In besonderem Maße gilt dies...

This paper investigates the labour market and welfare changes experienced by enlarged-EU migrants before and after 2007. For this purpose, we briefly review the Spanish socio-economic institutional background, as well as its migration policy towards enlarged-EU citizens. Then we discuss the...

Our research analyzes the effect of changes in migration policies and the accession to the European Union of former countries of emigration, considering the crucial role played by migrants in an aging society. We focus on the demand of family-care workers by using the last five years of the...

"This book presents the story of one specific group of immigrants who were part of the global migration of talent attracted to the U.S. in the later decades of the twentieth century and early part of the twenty-first century after U.S. immigration reform. This talent pool helped fuel U.S....

This deeply personal book tells the untold story of the significant contributions of technical professionals from the former Soviet Union to the US innovation economy, particularly in the sectors of software, social media, biotechnology, and medicine. Drawing upon in-depth interviews, it...

We study how the EU enlargement in 2004 and the Great Recession in the late 2000s have shaped the scale and composition of migration flows from the New Member States to Germany. We demonstrate that immigration increased substantially despite the restrictions on the German labor market, and that...

This paper studies the migration response of the youth from new EU member states to disparate conditions in an enlarged European Union at the onset of the Great Recession. We use the Eurobarometer data and probabilistic econometric models to identify the key drivers of the intention to work in...

The eastern enlargements of the EU in 2004 and 2007 have stimulated the mobility of workers from the new EU8 and EU2 countries. A significant proportion of these migrants stayed abroad only temporarily, and the Great recession may have triggered return intentions. However, a return may be...

This study evaluates potential migration flows to the European Union from its eastern neighbors and Croatia. We perform out-of-sample forecasts using an adaption of the model of Hatton (1995) to time series cross-sectional data about post-enlargement migration flows following the EU's 2004...

The employment-to-population rate of high-school aged youth has fallen by about 20 percentage points since the late 1980s. The human capital implications of this decline depend on the reasons behind it. In this paper, I demonstrate that growth in the number of less-educated immigrants may have...
