Abstract

In recent years, Costa Rica has experienced greater international migration from neighboring countries due to political, economic, and social reasons, raising discussions on the impact of migration on wages of native Costa Rican workers. This article is the first that disentangles the impact of migration on wages for native Costa Ricans from the impact for settled immigrants by analyzing the effect within groups of education, experience, and regions and controlling for unobserved heterogeneity. We find that on average, there is a significant negative effect of recent immigration on the wages of established immigrants, but no significant effect on the wages of natives over the period from 2012 to 2019. The outcomes hold when using different units of analysis and identification strategies.

移民对哥斯达黎加工资的影响

近年来，由于政治、经济和社会原因，哥斯达黎加经历了更多来自邻国的国际移民，这引发了关于移民对哥斯达黎加本土工人工资影响的讨论。这篇文章是第一篇通过分析教育、经验和地区群体内的影响，并控制未观察到的异质性，将移民对哥斯达黎加本地人工资的影响与对定居移民的影响分开的文章。我们发现，平均而言，新移民对现有移民的工资有显著的负面影响，但对2012年至2019年期间本地人的工资没有显著影响。当使用不同的分析单元和识别策略时，结果保持不变。
