1990年至1994年，在不稳定的苏联取消移民限制后，移民使以色列人口增加了12%。随着移民的涌入，雇用更多移民的职业的本地工资增长大大低于其他职业，本地就业增长略低于其他职业。然而，由于移民的移民后职业分布的影响，在以色列的职业相对劳动力市场条件，普通最小二乘法估计的移民对这些条件的影响是有偏见的。工具变量估计，利用移民的前职业在国外的信息，表明没有不利影响的移民对本地的结果。
Immigration increased Israel's population by 12 percent between 1990 and 1994, after emigration restrictions were lifted in an unstable Soviet Union. Following the influx, occupations that employed more immigrants had substantially lower native wage growth and slightly lower native employment growth than others. However, because the immigrants' postmigration occupational distribution was influenced by relative labor market conditions across occupations in Israel, Ordinary Least Squares estimates of the immigrants' impact on those conditions are biased. Instrumental Variables estimation, exploiting information on the immigrants' former occupations abroad, suggests no adverse impact of immigration on native outcomes.
