Growing without divergence : the impact of innovation on low- and high-skilled migration in China

Ge, Suqin; Guo, Naijia; Huang, Zibin; Zhang, Junsen; … - 2026

This paper examines how innovation shapes migration across skill groups. Using Chinese data, we find that cities with faster patent growth attract more low-skilled than high-skilled migrants, opposite to patterns in developed countries. These cities see similar wage growth for both groups but...

The effect of labour tightness on wages at the regional level in Central Europe

Szabó, Lajos Tamás - 2024

I estimate the effect of tightness on wages in Hungary and Slovakia. The Mortensen Pissarides model predicts a positive relationship but the empirical evidence is scarce. I instrument tightness by the distance of a district from the Austrian border, interacted with a dummy that marks the opening...
