The authors use the occurrence of a large and geographically varying inflow of more than 2.5 million Syrian migrants to Turkey between 2012 and 2015 to study the effect of migration on local economies. They do not find adverse employment or wage effects for native-born Turkish workers overall or for those without a high school degree. These results are robust to a range of strategies to construct reliable control groups. To explain the findings, the authors document the importance of three migration-induced demand channels: the complementarity between native and migrant labor, housing demand, and increased entrepreneurial activities.

仅仅是劳动力供应冲击吗？叙利亚移民对土耳其当地经济的影响

作者利用2012年至2015年期间大量不同地区的250万叙利亚移民流入土耳其的情况来研究移民对当地经济的影响。他们没有发现整体上对土耳其本地工人或没有高中学历的工人的不利就业或工资影响。这些结果对于构建可靠控制组的一系列策略都是可靠的。为了解释这些发现，作者记录了三个由移民引起的需求渠道的重要性：本地劳动力和移民劳动力之间的互补性，住房需求以及增加的企业家活动。
