| description |
Using census data for 1996, 2001 and
2007 the authors study the labor market effect of immigration
in South Africa. In this period the share of foreign born
over the total population has grown by almost fifty percent,
and both the characteristics and geographical distribution
of immigrants show substantial variation over time. The
author exploit these features of the data to carry out an
analysis that combines both the 'spatial
correlation' approach pioneered by card (1990) and the
variation across schooling and experience groups used by
Borjas (2003). The author estimate that increased
immigration has a negative effect on natives employment
outcomes, but not on total income. Furthermore, we find that
skilled South Africans appear to be the most negatively
affected subgroup of the population. |
