We control for individual, country-year, occupation group-year, and occupation group-country heterogeneity and shocks, and construct an imputed inflow of the foreign-born population that is exogenous to local demand shocks. We find that native European workers are more likely to move to occupations associated with higher skills and status when a larger number of immigrants enters their labor market. We find no evidence of an increase in their probability of becoming unemployed.}, issn = {0022-166X}, URL = {https://jhr.uwpress.org/content/50/3/655}, eprint = {https://jhr.uwpress.org/content/50/3/655.full.pdf}, journal = {Journal of Human Resources} }
