| Abstract: | Failure to account for differences between immigrants and natives in their responsiveness to changes in macroeconomic conditions may bias estimates of assimilation effects on immigrant earnings. Norwegian register data from 1980 to 1996 is used first to establish that earnings of immigrants from non-OECD countries exhibit greater sensitivity to local unemployment than do earnings of natives. The further empirical analysis reveals that standard methods of estimation - which fail to consider differential immigrant and native responsiveness - understate earnings growth and overstate cohort differentials among non-OECD immigrants. |
