Abstract

We investigate the impact of an increase in immigrant inflows on natives’ residential choices in a large metropolitan city. We utilize an administrative dataset containing information about residential address changes and self-reported reasons for relocation. Exploiting the expansion of a special visa program as an exogenous shock, we find that immigration inflows are both a push and a pull factor for natives. While neighborhoods in Seoul lost more than 6 natives for every 10 additional immigrants between 2006 and 2015, certain native workers were drawn to areas with immigrant inflows for job-related reasons.

动还是不动？韩国首尔的移民和本地人的社区选择

我们调查了移民流入增加对大城市本地人居住选择的影响。我们使用了一个行政数据集，其中包含有关居住地址变更和自我报告的搬迁原因的信息。利用特殊签证计划的扩大作为外生冲击，我们发现移民流入对当地人来说既是一个推动因素，也是一个拉动因素。2006年至2015年间，首尔的社区每增加10名移民，就会失去6名以上的本地人，但某些本地工人因工作原因被吸引到移民流入的地区。
