Abstract

Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals granted more than 900,000 temporary work permits to eligible immigrants. I estimate the impact of the policy on the labor market outcomes of natives and immigrants ineligible to take up the policy using ACS data and a continuous difference-in-differences strategy to compare individuals who are more and less exposed to the eligible population. I find that DACA does not depress labor market outcomes for natives, and possibly increases the fraction working. I also find that the policy likely had no impact on ineligible immigrants.

DACA伤害了美国出生的工人吗?临时工作签证和劳动力市场竞争

《童年抵美暂缓遣返法案》向符合条件的移民发放了90多万份临时工作许可。我使用ACS数据和连续差异中的差异策略来比较那些更多和更少接触到符合条件的人群的个人，估计该政策对没有资格接受该政策的本地人和移民的劳动力市场结果的影响。我发现DACA并没有降低美国本地人的劳动力市场结果，而且可能会增加工作的比例。我还发现，该政策可能对不符合条件的移民没有影响。
