Transferability of Human Capital and Immigrant Assimilation: An Analysis for Germany
LABOUR, 2017Co-Authors: Leilanie Basilio, Thomas K. Bauer, Anica KramerAbstract:This paper investigates the transferability of human capital from various countries to Germany and the contribution of imperfect human capital portability to the explanation of the immigrant-native wage gap. Our results reveal that, overall, education and, in Particular, Labor Market experience accumulated in the home countries of the immigrants receive significantly lower returns than human capital obtained in Germany. We further find evidence for heterogeneity in the returns to human capital of immigrants across countries. Finally, imperfect human capital transferability appears to be a major factor in explaining the wage differential between natives and immigrants.

Transferability of Human Capital and Immigrant Assimilation – An Analysis for Germany
2010Co-Authors: Leilanie Basilio, Thomas K. BauerAbstract:This paper investigates the transferability of human capital across countries and the contribution of imperfect human capital portability to the explanation of the immigrant-native wage gap. Using data for West Germany, our results reveal that, overall, education and in Particular Labor Market experience accumulated in the home countries of the immigrants receive signifiantly lower returns than human capital obtained in Germany. We further find evidence for heterogeneity in the returns to human capital of immigrants across countries. Finally, imperfect human capital transferability appears to be a major factor in explaining the wage differential between natives and immigrants.

Contextualizing Immigrant Labor Market Incorporation Legal, Demographic, and Economic Dimensions
Work and Occupations, 2004Co-Authors: Jacqueline HaganAbstract:This article provides the Work and Occupations readership with an overview of U.S. immigration trends, and it discusses some of the scholarly and public policy debates surrounding the Particular Labor Market patterns of recent immigrants. The first section focuses on how the history of U.S. immigration policy has shaped the flow and composition of today’s foreign-born workers. The second section underscores some of the demographic and economic consequences of recent large-scale immigration. The third section draws on census data to profile contemporary immigrant workers. The remainder of the article highlights the major empirical and theoretical contributions that each article makes toward understanding how different immigrant groups become inserted into U.S. employment structures. Then, it discusses recent debates in the literature on immigration and Labor Markets with an eye toward the current and future role of immigration policy.

Ethnic Identity and Labor-Market Outcomes of Immigrants in Europe
2011Co-Authors: Alberto Bisin, Eleonora Patacchini, Thierry Verdier, Yves ZenouAbstract:Using data from the European Social Survey on most European countries, we look at the relationship between ethnic identity and employment prospects for immigrants from non-European countries. We find that a strong attachment to religion is associated with a lower probability of being employed. When we differentiate between first and second generations of immigrants, our evidence reveals signs of a cultural and economic integration of immigrants in Europe. However, when an extreme ethnic sentiment is preserved, the employment penalty is amplified. Our results also suggest that the strength of a person's ethnic identity and its relationship with employment prospects may depend on the type of integration policy performed in the country where the immigrant lives. In Particular, Labor-Market policies and family-reunion policies seem to facilitate the Labor-Market access to immigrants coming from non-European countries.
