Chapter 10. Selective Out-Migration and the Estimation of Immigrants’ Earnings Profiles
This chapter begins by documenting that temporary migrations are not only very common, but that out-migration of immigrants is selective both in terms of migrants’ individual characteristics and their economic outcomes. We then examine the problems that arise when estimating immigrants’ earnings profiles when out-migration is selective, and discuss the identifying assumptions needed to answer three different questions on immigrants’ earnings careers. We show how better data can help to relax these assumptions, suggest appropriate estimators, and provide an illustration using simulated data. We finally provide an overview of existing papers that use different types of data to address selective out-migration when estimating immigrants’ earnings profiles.
