Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation studies how internal migration and labor mobility shape labor productivity in different contexts. In the first chapter, with Daniel Lopes and Leonardo Monasterio, I investigate how descendants of immigrants have spread the impacts of historical immigration in Brazil. I apply a surname-based classification of ancestries to a rich linked employer-employee dataset covering every worker in the formal sector in Brazil in 2004-2017. With this classification algorithm, I identify descendants of historical immigrants in Brazil today and investigate how their concentration in labor markets-especially those along the country's agricultural frontier-affects the wages of descendants and non-descendants. I find evidence of positive labor spillovers: wages are 1-2% higher for each additional percentage point in my measure of the concentration of descendants. These results are in accord with a model in which descendants and non-descendants have complementary skills in the production function of the firms, particularly those in the agricultural sector. In the second chapter, with Marieke Kleemans and Emilia Tjernström, I investigate how self-selection combined with observed and unobserved characteristics of individuals explains heterogeneity in the returns to rural-urban migration and sectoral mobility in Indonesia. I use the IFLS dataset and recent developments in econometrics to estimate returns for different types of movers. With additional assumptions on the type of self-selection, I also estimate average returns for non-movers. Results show little heterogeneity and small returns in earnings to rural-urban migration but larger and more heterogenous returns to switching from agricultural to non-agricultural sectors, particularly for non-movers. Finally, in the third paper, I investigate the components of the wage premium of current and return migrants within Brazil. My estimates of the migrant wage premia range from 5% to 12%. I use cross-sectional and longitudinal data in different regression specifications and subsamples to investigate the role of self-selection, location-specific effects, and learning on these wage premia. My results suggest that the self-selection of internal migrants in Brazil is based more on absolute advantage (migrants earn more in any location) than comparative advantage (migrants earn more in a specific location).

Book excerpt: This dissertation is comprised of three essays that focus on high-skilled migrations and how these are influenced by public policy and their economic impacts. The first essay links finance theory to labor economics and political economy in the context of migration and immigration policy. Using event study analysis, I measure the impact of immigration policy on the profit of employers and shareholders, in particular the American Competitiveness and Workforce Improvement Act (ACWIA) of 1998 nearly doubled the available number of H-1B visas for skilled foreign workers in FY 1999. The empirical results show that top H-1B visa user industries enjoyed significant and positive excess returns with the passage of the ACWIA of 1998, while industries with little need for H-1B visas experienced no significant changes. Robustness checks including international comparisons, nonparametric modeling and a sample-split Chow structural break test support the results. In the second essay, I investigate the findings of the first essay by employing two multi-factor models-Fama-French three-factor model and Fama-French-momentum four-factor model. Fama and French (1993) claim that the three-factor model does a better job isolating the firm-specific components of returns. In contrast, Campbell, Lo and Mackinlay (1997) argue that in practice the gains from employing multi-factor models for modeling the normal returns are limited. The results support the point of Campbell, Lo and Mackinlay (1997). In the third essay, I use microdata on immigrants from the 1990 and 2000 U.S. censuses to examine the growing earnings differentials between foreign-born Taiwanese and all other foreign-born immigrants. By decomposing the earnings gap, I show that over one-third of this gap (36% in 1990, 37% in 2000) can be attributed to the better endowment (higher education) of the Taiwanese. Among foreign-born Taiwanese from 1960 to 1999, 60% of the master degrees, 80% of the professional degrees and 92% of the doctorate degrees were earned in the United States. The growing numbers and rising percentage of U.S. earned degrees among the Taiwanese indicate their higher earnings relative to other immigrants in 1990 and 2000 can be attributed to their successful economic assimilation into the United States.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The third chapter explains the reasons for the decreasing migration flows in the United States. Migration has been viewed as critical for the flexibility of the U.S. labor market, but its role of smoothing out macroeconomic shocks has been falling in recent years (Partridge et al. 2012). This study investigates the reasons for decreasing migration flows and provides evidence for the link between dwindling migration and increasing industry mobility in the United States from 2005 to 2015. Linked to the labor search theory (Mortenson, 1986), this study illustrates how industry mobility substitute for migration flows. Empirical results suggest that industry mobility is inversely associated with out-migration rate. The role of migration for smoothing out demand shocks becomes less important in regions where industry mobility rates are high. The findings justify that the increasing industry mobility can explain the decreasing migration flows in the U.S.
