Natives’ skills and attitudes towards immigrants: evidence from 20 OECD countries

The purpose of this paper is to examine whether natives’ attitudes toward immigration is associated with an influx of high- and low-skilled immigrants. The current research focuses on selected 20 OECD countries as destination countries.,A pseudo-panel based on age cohort is constructed to control for the potential unobservable individual characteristics. The random effects and within estimators (where applicable) are applied in the panel-data setting.,Regression results indicate that natives’ attitudes depend on their labor market exposure and skill type. Low-skill immigrant inflows are negatively associated with natives’ attitudes, but the magnitude is reduced proportionally to their share of the high skilled. The association between immigrant flows and attitudes is particularly strong for the prime-age cohorts, which can be explained by the labor market competition mechanism.,Given the data limitations, not all destination countries could be analyzed but only selected OECD countries. However, this situation has resulted in the sample destination countries sharing similar characteristics with advanced economies.,Although the majority of previous studies are based on survey questions on attitudes toward immigrants with respective skill type, the current study focuses on the effects of the actual immigration flows. Natives’ attitudes respond sensitively to the actual changes in the number of migrants. The selection of OECD countries makes the characteristics of the destination countries substantially homogeneous.

土著人对移民的技能和态度:来自20个经合组织国家的证据

本文的目的是研究土著人对移民的态度是否与高技能和低技能移民的涌入有关。目前的研究集中在选定的20个经合组织国家作为目的地国家。构建了一个基于年龄组的伪面板来控制潜在的不可观察到的个人特征。面板数据设置中应用了随机效应和估计量(如果适用)。回归结果表明,本地人的态度取决于他们在劳动力市场上的了解和技能类型。低技能移民的流入与当地人的态度呈负相关,但数量的减少与高技能移民的比例成正比。移民流动与态度之间的联系对于高龄人群尤其重要,鉴于数据的局限性,并非所有目的地国都能被分析,只有经合组织国家才能被分析。然而,这种情况导致样本目的地国家与发达经济体具有相似的特征。尽管先前的研究大多基于对具有不同技能类型的移民的态度的调查问题,但当前的研究侧重于实际移民的影响流。土著人的态度对移民人数的实际变化敏感。经合组织国家的选择使目的地国的特征大体上是同质的。然而,这种情况导致样本目的地国家与发达经济体具有相似的特征。尽管先前的研究大多基于对具有不同技能类型的移民的态度的调查问题,但当前的研究侧重于实际移民的影响流。土著人的态度对移民人数的实际变化敏感。经合组织国家的选择使目的地国的特征大体上是同质的。然而,这种情况导致样本目的地国家与发达经济体具有相似的特征。尽管先前的研究大多基于对具有不同技能类型的移民的态度的调查问题,但当前的研究侧重于实际移民的影响流。土著人的态度对移民人数的实际变化敏感。经合组织国家的选择使目的地国的特征大体上是同质的。当前的研究集中在实际移民流动的影响上。土著人的态度对移民人数的实际变化敏感。经合组织国家的选择使目的地国的特征大体上是同质的。当前的研究集中在实际移民流动的影响上。土著人的态度对移民人数的实际变化敏感。经合组织国家的选择使目的地国的特征大体上是同质的。
