“…The strength of labor unions could also be affected. 5 Theoretically, the quality of migrants depends not only on relative migration benefits for the skilled and unskilled, influenced by relative inequality across regions, but also on the relation between skill and moving costs. 6 Empirical papers have often found that migrants are more educated than non-migrants in the source region, and earned higher wages than non-migrants prior to moving.…”

Are Migrants More Skilled than Non-Migrants? Repeat, Return and Same-Employer Migrants

I examine the determinants of interstate migration of adults within western Germany, using the German SocioEconomic Panel from 1984-2000. I highlight the prevalence and distinctive characteristics of migrants who do not change employers. Same-employer migrants represent one fifth of all migrants, and have higher education and pre-move wages than non-migrants. Conditional on age, same-employer migrants are therefore more skilled than non-migrants. By contrast, although other migrants have higher education than non-migrants, they do not have higher pre-move wages. Furthermore, they have in their ranks disproportionate numbers of the non-employed, unemployed and recently laid off. It therefore seems inappropriate to characterize them as more skilled than nonmigrants. The results for same-employer migrants indicate that skilled workers have a low-cost migration avenue that has not been considered in the previous literature. I also analyze the relation between repeat and return migration and distinguish between short and long-distance migration. I confirm that long-distance migrants are more skilled than short-distance migrants, as predicted by theory, and I show that return migrants are a mix of successes and failures.
