本文询问英国移民是否对平均工资产生了影响。学者们似乎达成了广泛的共识，即劳动力中移民的比例对土著居民的工资率影响很小或没有影响。但文献中的研究通常没有通过将其分解为不同的职业群体来完善他们的分析。在本文中，我们发现，一旦将职业细分纳入英国移民的区域分析中，移民与本地人的比例就会对平均工资产生显着的、较小的负面影响。仔细研究表明，影响最大的是半技术/非技术服务部门。这一发现与直觉和轶事非常吻合，但之前的实证文献中似乎没有记录过。
This paper asks whether immigration to Britain has had any impact on average wages. There seems to be a broad consensus among academics that the share of immigrants in the workforce has little or no effect on the pay rates of the indigenous population. But the studies in the literature have typically not refined their analysis by breaking it down into different occupational groups. In this paper we find that once the occupational breakdown is incorporated into a regional analysis of immigration in Britain, the immigrant-native ratio has a significant, small, negative impact on average wages. Closer examination reveals that the biggest impact is in the semi/unskilled services sector. This finding accords well with intuition and anecdote, but does not seem to have been recorded previously in the empirical literature.
