International Differences in the Labor Market Performance of Immigrants

George J. Borjas
University of California, Santa Barbara

The author provides substantive insights into the self-selection process that determines the composition of the pool of migrants. He also illustrates the importance of immigration policy in determining both the national origin and skill composition of migrant flow reaching a country of destination.

"This study is an excellent contribution to the literature on the economics of immigration. Borjas' approach is innovative and promising, leading as it does to useful insights about the workings of immigration markets and about the selectives that are taking place in immigration flows."
