Abstract: | We explore matched employer–employee data for a new destination of international migrants in Europe—Portugal. We conclude
that the difference between the earnings of immigrants and natives with similar personal characteristics is for the most part
due to the characteristics of the matches they form, immigrants being penalized on two different counts: absence of match-specific
human capital and occupational downgrading. Moreover, we show that non-random sorting across workplaces has a significant
detrimental effect on immigrants’ wages. This is the flip side of joining migrant-crowded workplaces. |
