Abstract Migration has manifested itself to historic highs, creating divisive views among politicians, policy makers, and individuals. The present paper studies the Europeans’ attitudes toward immigration, focusing particularly on the role of social capital. Based on 267,282 respondents from 22 countries and over the period 2002–2014, we find that despite the eventful past years, Europeans, on average, are positive toward immigrants with the North European countries to be the least xenophobic. A salient finding of our analysis is that regardless of the impact of other contextual factors, namely, a country’s macroeconomic conditions, ethnic diversity, cultural origin, and individuals’ attributes, social capital associates with positive attitudes toward all immigrants, independent of their background. Furthermore, social capital moderates the negative effects of perceived threat on people’s opinions about immigrants.
摘要移民已经达到历史最高点,在政治家、政策制定者和个人之间产生了分歧。本文研究了欧洲人对移民的态度,特别关注社会资本的作用。基于2002年至2014年期间来自22个国家的267282名受访者,我们发现,尽管过去几年多事之秋,但欧洲人平均对移民持积极态度,北欧国家是最不排外的。我们分析的一个显著发现是,无论其他背景因素的影响如何,即一个国家的宏观经济条件、种族多样性、文化起源和个人属性,社会资本都与对所有移民的积极态度有关,与他们的背景无关。此外,社会资本调节了感知威胁对人们对移民看法的负面影响。

Abstract This paper does an empirical comparison of time-invariant and time-varying technical inefficiency measures obtained from an econometric estimation of different panel data stochastic production frontier models. It estimates four panel data specifications of frontier models widely used in empirical applications using a panel dataset from the Ethiopian cereal farming sector. The empirical results show that estimates of both the magnitude and the individual farms’ rankings of persistent and transient productive efficiencies differ considerably across models and based on their agro-ecological zones location. The results further show that the cereal growing farms experience much more transient inefficiency as compared to persistent inefficiency.
摘要本文对不同面板数据随机生产前沿模型的时变和定常技术效率测度进行了实证比较。它使用埃塞俄比亚谷物农业部门的面板数据集估计了在实证应用中广泛使用的前沿模型的四个面板数据规格。实证结果表明,在不同的模型和不同的农业生态区位置上,对持续和短暂生产效率的大小和个体农场排名的估计存在很大差异。结果进一步表明,与持续的低效率相比,谷物种植农场经历了更多的短暂低效率。

International migratory agreements: the paradox of adverse interest 国际移徙协定:不利利益的悖论

Abstract This article seeks to explain the contradiction between the promises of welfare gains derived from the economic models recommending the removal of immigration restrictions and the realities experienced by countries attempting to apply restrictions to immigration flows. A formal model is built in which the strategic reaction of countries considers not only the benefits derived from migration but also the (economic and non-economic) costs that migration can generate in the host country. Strategic reactions drive what may be called the “paradox of adverse interest”: the fewer potential gains associated with liberalization of migration, the easier it becomes for nations to reach an unrestrictive agreement. The existence of two asymmetries (between the bargaining power of receiving and sending countries, and between the private nature of most of migration’s benefits and the social nature of its main costs) can hinder the agreement when the countries involved exhibit a high wage differential. Results suggest that permissive international agreements on migration are easier to reach in regional contexts, among countries with proximate economic conditions and levels of income.
摘要本文试图解释建议取消移民限制的经济模式所产生的福利收益承诺与试图对移民流动实施限制的国家所经历的现实之间的矛盾。建立了一个正式的模型,其中各国的战略反应不仅考虑移民带来的好处,还考虑移民在东道国可能产生的(经济和非经济)成本。战略反应推动了所谓的“不利利益悖论”:与移民自由化相关的潜在收益越少,各国就越容易达成不受限制的协议。当有关国家表现出高工资差异时,存在两种不对称性(接收国和发送国的议价能力之间,以及大多数移民福利的私人性质和主要成本的社会性质之间)可能会阻碍协议的达成。结果表明,在区域背景下,在经济条件和收入水平相近的国家之间,更容易达成关于移民的宽松国际协议。

Fragmenting the Family? The Complexity of Household Migration Strategies in Post-apartheid South Africa 分裂家庭?种族隔离后南非家庭移民策略的复杂性

Abstract The disruption of family life is one of the important legacies of South Africa’s colonial and apartheid history. Families were undermined by deliberate strategies implemented through the pass laws, forced removals, urban housing policy, and the creation of homelands. Despite the removal of legal restrictions on permanent urban settlement and family co-residence for Africans, patterns of internal and oscillating labor migration have endured, dual or stretched households continue to link urban and rural nodes, children have remained less urbanized than adults, and many grow up without coresident parents. Although children are clearly affected by adult labor migration, they have tended to be ignored in the migration discourse. In this study, we add to the literature by showing how a child lens advances our understanding of the complexities of household arrangements and migration processes for families. In a mixed-methods study, we use nationally representative panel data to describe persistence, and also change, in migration patterns in South Africa when viewed from the perspective of children. We then draw on a detailed case study to explore what factors constrain or permit families to migrate together, or children to join adults at migration destination areas.
家庭生活的破裂是南非殖民和种族隔离历史的重要遗产之一。通过通行证法、强制搬迁、城市住房政策和建立家园实施的蓄意战略破坏了家庭。尽管取消了对非洲人永久城市定居和家庭共同居住的法律限制,但内部和振荡的劳动力迁移模式仍然存在,双重或紧张的家庭继续连接城市和农村节点,儿童的城市化程度仍然低于成年人,许多人在没有共同父母的情况下长大。尽管儿童明显受到成年劳动力移民的影响,但在移民话语中,他们往往被忽视。在这项研究中,我们通过展示儿童视角如何促进我们对家庭安排和移民过程复杂性的理解,为文献增添了内容。在一项混合方法研究中,我们使用具有全国代表性的小组数据来描述从儿童的角度来看南非移民模式的持续性和变化。然后,我们利用一个详细的案例研究来探索哪些因素限制或允许家庭一起移民,或者儿童在移民目的地与成年人团聚。

Income Elasticity of Child Labor: Do Cash Transfers have an Impact on the Poorest Children? 童工的收入弹性:现金转移对最贫困儿童有影响吗?

Abstract The possible nonlinearity of the income elasticity of child labor has been at the center of the debate regarding both its causes and the policy instruments to address it. We contribute to this debate providing theoretical and empirical novel results. From a theoretical point of view, for any given transfer size, there is a critical level of household income below which an increase in income has no impact on child labor and education. We estimate the causal impact of an increase in income on child labor and education exploiting the random allocation of the Child Grant Programme, an unconditional cash transfer (CT), in Lesotho. We show that the poorest households do not increase investment in children’s human capital, while relatively less poor households reduce child labor and increase education. In policy terms, the results indicate that CTs might not be always effective to support the investment in children’s human capital of the poorest households. Beside the integration with other measures, making the amount of transfer depends of the level of deprivation of the household, might improve CT effectiveness.
摘要童工收入弹性的可能非线性一直是关于其原因和解决这一问题的政策工具的争论的中心。我们为这场争论做出了贡献,提供了理论和实证的新结果。从理论角度来看,对于任何给定的转移规模,都存在一个临界的家庭收入水平,低于该水平,收入的增加对童工和教育没有影响。我们利用莱索托儿童补助计划(一种无条件现金转移(CT))的随机分配,估计了收入增加对童工和教育的因果影响。我们发现,最贫困的家庭没有增加对儿童人力资本的投资,而相对较少的贫困家庭减少了童工并增加了教育。在政策方面,研究结果表明,CT可能并不总是有效地支持最贫困家庭对儿童人力资本的投资。除了与其他措施相结合外,使转移金额取决于家庭的贫困程度,可能会提高CT的有效性。

Substitution between Immigrant and Native Farmworkers in the United States: Does Legal Status Matter? 美国移民和本土农场工人之间的替代:法律地位重要吗?

Abstract The policy debate surrounding the employment of immigrant workers in U.S. agriculture centers around the extent to which immigrant farmworkers adversely affect the economic opportunities of native farmworkers. To help answer this question, we propose a three-layer nested constant elasticity of substitution (CES) framework to investigate the substitutability among heterogeneous farmworker groups based on age, skill, and legal status utilizing National Agricultural Workers Survey (NAWS) data from 1989 through 2012. We use farmwork experience and type of task performed as alternative proxies for skill to disentangle the substitution effect between U.S. citizens, authorized immigrants, and unauthorized immigrant farmworkers. Results show that substitutability between the three legal status groups is small; neither authorized nor unauthorized immigrant farmworkers have a significant impact on the employment of native farmworkers.
摘要围绕美国农业中移民工人就业的政策辩论集中在移民农场工人对当地农场工人的经济机会产生不利影响的程度上。为了帮助回答这个问题,我们提出了一个三层嵌套的恒定替代弹性(CES)框架,利用1989年至2012年的全国农业工人调查(NAWS)数据,基于年龄、技能和法律地位来调查异质农场工人群体之间的可替代性。我们使用农场工作经验和完成的任务类型作为技能的替代指标,来理清美国公民、授权移民和未授权移民农场工人之间的替代效应。结果表明,三个法律地位群体之间的可替代性较小;授权或未授权的移民农场工人都不会对本地农场工人的就业产生重大影响。

Asymmetric Information and the Discount on Foreign-Acquired Degrees in Canada 信息不对称与加拿大的外国学位折扣

Abstract A growing wage gap between immigrant and native-born workers is well documented and is a fundamental policy issue in Canada. It is quite possible that wage differences, commonly attributed to the lower quality of foreign credentials or the deficiency in the accreditation of these credentials, merely reflect lower wage offers that immigrant workers receive due to risk aversion among local firms facing an elevated degree of asymmetric information. Using the 2006 and 2011 population censuses, this paper empirically investigates the effects of wage bargaining in labor markets on the wage gap between foreign- and Canadian-educated workers. Our results imply that a significant part of the wage gap between foreign-educated and Canadian-educated immigrant (and native-born) workers is not driven by the employers’ risk aversion but by differences in human capital endowments and occupational matching quality.
摘要移民和本地出生的工人之间日益扩大的工资差距是加拿大的一个基本政策问题,这一点有据可查。很有可能,工资差异,通常归因于外国证书的质量较低或这些证书的认证不足,只是反映了移民工人由于面临高度不对称信息的当地公司的风险厌恶而获得的较低工资。本文利用2006年和2011年的人口普查,实证研究了劳动力市场中的工资谈判对外国和加拿大受教育工人之间工资差距的影响。我们的研究结果表明,在外国教育和加拿大教育的移民(和本地出生的)工人之间,工资差距的很大一部分不是由雇主的风险厌恶驱动的,而是由人力资本禀赋和职业匹配质量的差异驱动的。

Double Jeopardy: How Refugees Fare in One European Labor Market 双重危险:难民在一个欧洲劳动力市场中的处境

Abstract This paper examines the labor market trajectories of refugees who arrived in Belgium between 1999 and 2009. Belgium offers a relatively easy formal labor market access to refugees and other types of migrants but they face many other barriers in this strongly regulated and institutionalized labor market. Based on a longitudinal dataset that links respondents’ information from the Belgian Labor Force Survey with comprehensive social security data on their work histories, we estimate discrete-time hazard models to analyze refugees’ entry into and exit out of the first employment spell, contrasting their outcomes with family and labor migrants of the same arrival cohort. The analysis shows that refugees take significantly longer to enter their first employment spell as compared with other migrant groups. They also run a greater risk of exiting out of their first employment spell (back) into social assistance and into unemployment. The low employment rates of refugees are thus not only due to a slow integration process upon arrival, but also reflect a disproportional risk of exiting the labor market after a period in work. Our findings indicate that helping refugees into a first job is not sufficient to ensure labor market participation in the long run, because these jobs may be short-lived. Instead, our results provide clear arguments in favor of policies that support sustainable labor market integration.
摘要本文考察了1999年至2009年间抵达比利时的难民的劳动力市场轨迹。比利时为难民和其他类型的移民提供了相对容易的正式劳动力市场准入,但在这个严格监管和制度化的劳动力市场中,他们面临着许多其他障碍。基于一个纵向数据集,该数据集将受访者来自比利时劳动力调查的信息与他们工作史的综合社会保障数据联系起来,我们估计了离散时间风险模型,以分析难民进入和离开第一个就业期的情况,并将其结果与同一到达群体的家庭和劳动力移民进行对比。分析表明,与其他移民群体相比,难民进入第一个就业期的时间要长得多。他们还面临着更大的风险,即从第一份工作中退出(回到)社会援助和失业。因此,难民的低就业率不仅是由于抵达后的融合进程缓慢,还反映出在工作一段时间后退出劳动力市场的风险不成比例。我们的研究结果表明,从长远来看,帮助难民找到第一份工作不足以确保劳动力市场的参与,因为这些工作可能是短暂的。相反,我们的研究结果为支持可持续劳动力市场整合的政策提供了明确的论据。

Abstract Policymakers typically try to address youth unemployment in developing countries through either active labor market programs (ALMPs) or labor-intensive public works programs (LIPWs). We examine whether there is any additional benefit for unemployed youth from participating in a comprehensive ALMP compared to a LIPW. We exploit an unanticipated intervention in the largest employment program in Papua New Guinea, which resulted in one intake of the program completing a LIPW and missing out on a comprehensive ALMP. We conduct a difference-in-difference analysis between participants in the intake that missed out on the ALMP component of the program and participants in the intakes immediately before and after. In contrast to most impact evaluations of ALMPs, we show youth that completed the comprehensive ALMP were around twice as likely to be employed in the formal sector 9–12 months after the program compared to similar youth in the intake that only completed a LIWP. This effect was entirely driven by 20% of youth who participated in the ALMP staying with the employer they were placed with following the end of the program. Surveys of these employers illustrate that they use the ALMP as a low-cost, low-risk, and relatively low-effort way of hiring new employees.
摘要政策制定者通常试图通过积极的劳动力市场计划或劳动密集型公共工程计划来解决发展中国家的青年失业问题。我们研究了与LIPW相比,失业青年参加综合ALMP是否有任何额外的福利。我们利用了巴布亚新几内亚最大的就业计划中的一项意外干预,导致该计划的一名参与者完成了LIPW,错过了全面的ALMP。我们对错过了该计划ALMP部分的录取参与者和前后录取的参与者进行了差异分析。与ALMP的大多数影响评估相反,我们发现,与只完成LIWP的类似青年相比,完成综合ALMP的青年在项目后9-12个月进入正规部门的可能性大约是前者的两倍。这种影响完全是由20%参加ALMP的年轻人在项目结束后留在他们所在的雇主那里推动的。对这些雇主的调查表明,他们使用ALMP是一种低成本、低风险、相对低成本的雇佣新员工的方式。
