使用英国纳税人的行政数据，我们研究了移民对英国最高收入增长的贡献。我们发现，移民在收入分配的顶端比例过高，在最高的0.01%的纳税人中，移民的比例是最低的97%的纳税人的两倍。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，英国前1%收入份额的所有增长都归功于移民。
Using administrative data on the universe of UK taxpayers, we study the contribution of migrants to the rise in UK top incomes. We show migrants are over-represented at the top of the income distribution, with migrants twice as prevalent in the top 0.01% as anywhere in the bottom 97% of taxpayers. These high incomes are predominantly from labour, rather than capital, and migrants are concentrated in only a handful of industries, predominantly finance. All of the observed growth in the UK top 1% income share over the past 20 years has accrued to migrants.
