Abstract

Identifying the causal impact of immigration on outcomes commonly involves using a “shift‐share” or Bartik instrument, exploiting country‐specific immigration inflows (shifts) and location specific prior shares for the same countries. New findings suggest that identifying variation may come not from the shifts, as previously believed, but rather from the shares. In this paper, I first replicate Hunt and Gauthier‐Loiselle (HGL) who find skilled immigration increases innovation, and second employ new tests from the shift‐share literature. I find that the results of HGL replicate and hold up well to these new tests.

复制 "移民对创新的促进作用有多大？

要确定移民对结果的因果影响，通常需要使用 "转移份额 "或 Bartik 工具，利用特定国家的移民流入量（转移）和相同国家特定地点的先前份额。新的研究结果表明，识别变量可能并不像以前认为的那样来自转移，而是来自份额。在本文中，我首先复制了 Hunt 和 Gauthier-Loiselle（HGL）的研究成果，他们发现技术移民增加了创新，其次我采用了转移份额文献中的新测试方法。我发现，HGL 的结果在这些新的检验中得到了很好的重复和维持。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
