本文使用荷兰的行政数据，考察了移民工资增长，并考虑了选择性移民。针对以往文献中的局限性，我们使用相关竞争风险模型解决了移民劳动力供应和移民决策对收入状况的潜在内隐性。我们区分劳工和家庭移民，因为他们有不同的劳动力市场和移民行为。我们的研究结果表明，考虑选择性劳动力供应与考虑选择性向外移民同样重要。只控制移民的选择性会低估移民的工资增长，而只控制劳动力市场的选择性会高估他们的工资增长。这表明，不同的选择对于不同类型的移民是重要的。
This paper examines immigrant wage growth taking selective out‐migration into account using administrative data from the Netherlands. Addressing a limitation in the previous literature, we address the potential endogeneity of immigrants’ labour supply and out‐migration decisions on their earning profiles using a correlated competing risk model. We distinguish between labour and family migrants, given their different labour market and out‐migration behaviours. Our findings show that accounting for selective labour supply is as important as accounting for selective out‐migration. Controlling only for out‐migration selectivity would underestimate immigrants’ wage growth, whilst controlling only for labour market selectivity would overestimate their wage growth. This shows that different selections are important for different types of migrants.
