This book presents a series of research articles written over the past four decades by leading economists George J. Borjas and Barry R. Chiswick. Borjas and Chiswick are leading experts on the adjustment of immigrants in their destination country and their impact on the economy. Although they worked separately throughout their careers, and did not always agree, their intellectual interaction has greatly increased understanding of the economic consequences of international migration and immigration policy across developed immigrant receiving countries. This volume brings together their contributions for the first time to demonstrate how public policy issues on immigration have evolved over time.An in-depth analysis of the key issues relating to international migration Foundations of Migration Economics explores the assimilation of immigrants, focusing on the earning changes of immigrants with a longer duration in the host economy; how immigrant networks and ethnic enclaves influence the labor market and linguistic adjustment of immigrants; determinants of language proficiency and to what extent pre-migration skills are effectively employed by the destination; and the effect of immigration on the earnings of earlier waves of immigrants and native-born workers.

This volume (Parts A and B) contains 16 new studies that shed light on key aspects of immigration: the drivers of immigration, the factors fostering or hindering immigrant integration in the host country, and the impact of immigration in the host countries. The studies span a wide range of countries in Europe, North and South America and use novel administrative, regional and survey data to offer insights into historical and contemporary episodes of migration. Together, they enrich our understanding of the determinants and consequences of migration and provide an evidence base for policy discussions. The volume covers three broad themes. In both Part A and B are eight papers on the integration of immigrants in the host society, focusing on the acquisition of human capital, labor supply, family formation, and returns to skills. Part B also studies the impact of immigration on outcomes that often dominate the public debate, namely employment, education, and crime. Published twice per year in conjunction with the Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) Research in Labor Economics contains new cutting edge peer reviewed research applying economic theory and econometrics to policy related topics pertinent to worker well-being often with an international focus.

In the digital age, Big Data offers an unparalleled lens into the intricacies of human behavior. Data sourced from job boards, social media platforms, or news websites allows researchers to answer questions that could not be answered with conventional data sources. Labor markets are no exception here: every day, millions of workers and firms interact, and big data allows us to better understand the complex dynamics arising from worker-firm interactions.This volume showcases new, original research using Big Data to gain fresh insights into how labor markets work. The volume is compiled by Solomon Polachek, a pioneer in gender-related labor market research, and Benjamin Elsner, an expert on causal inference and the economics of migration. Topics include labor force transition dynamics, the labor demand side of involuntary part-time employment, the insights gained from wages in online job postings regarding wage growth, the role of online vacancies in labor market performance, the demand for personality traits, and an analysis of job descriptions from university job boards. All chapters use a combination of innovative data sources and machine learning methods to enhance our understanding of how labor markets work.
