在本文中，我们研究了移民对英国最高收入增长的贡献。使用英国纳税人的行政数据，我们发现移民在收入分配的顶端比例过高，移民在最高的0.1%中的比例是最低的97%中的两倍。这些高收入主要来自劳动力，而不是资本，移民集中在少数几个行业，主要是金融业。在过去20年中，英国最高1%收入份额的增长几乎全部（85%）都可以归因于移民。
In this paper we study the contribution of migrants to the rise in UK top incomes. Using administrative data on the universe of UK taxpayers we show migrants are over-represented at the top of the income distribution, with migrants twice as prevalent in the top 0.1% as anywhere in the bottom 97%. These high incomes are predominantly from labour, rather than capital, and migrants are concentrated in only a handful of industries, predominantly finance. Almost all (85%) of the growth in the UK top 1% income share over the past 20 years can be attributed to migration.
