Hi! Please answer the following questions in 2-4 sentences.
1. Assume you are interested in measuring the impacts of the 1980 arrival of Marielitos on Miami’s labor market. To do so, you decide to compare the labor market outcomes of native-born workers in Miami in 1979 (before the arrival of the Marielitos) to the labor market outcomes of native-born workers in Miami in 1981 (after the arrival of the Marielitos). Explain one potential issue with this research strategy and discuss how you could improve it.
2. In one-two sentences, describe the general consensus of economists on the effects of immigration on the wages of natives.
3. Pick one of the studies we discussed in class on the labor market effects of immigration and in two-three sentences describe the basics of the authors’ empirical strategy. In other words, how do the authors estimate the effects of immigration on natives’ labor market outcomes? (Describe the natural experiment and how they use it to say something about immigration’s effect on natives’ labor market outcomes.)
Please use: Source: Abramitzky et al. (forthcoming) – “The Effect of Immigration Restrictions on Local Labor Markets: Lessons from the 1920s Border Closure” Page 18 in the attached power point
4. Most of the papers we discussed in class on the labor market effects of immigration found small effects of immigration on natives’ labor market outcomes. Provide three examples of explanations you have seen these authors provide as to how/why the increase (or decrease) in immigration had such small effects on natives’ labor market outcomes in their context.
5. Provide one reason why second-generation immigrants do better in the labor market than comparable 3rd-plus generation kids.
6. Provide two reasons why the simple model in which immigration only results in a shift in labor supply is probably wrong in most contexts
