| Tiivistelmä: | This paper analyzes the labor market effects of immigration into Germany in 1980-2004 from the perspective of wage-setting. It is found that the elasticity of the wage-setting curve is particularly high for young workers. Moreover, natives and foreigners are imperfect substitutes. The salary and employment effects of immigration depend on the skill structure of the immigrant workforce. Because the foreign labor supply shift has mainly affected the high-skilled labor market segment, the 4 percent increase of the workforce through immigration has not increased either aggregate or foreign unemployment. |
