本文研究了低技能移民对出生在美国的高技能女性的工作和生育决定的影响。我们提出的证据表明，1980年至2000年期间，低技能移民到大都市地区降低了基于市场的家庭服务的成本。使用一种新的估计技术来分析联合决策，我们发现，受过大学教育的本地女性的反应，平均而言，通过增加生育率和减少短期劳动力参与。这些变化伴随着工作和生育率之间的负相关性减弱，以及生育子女和参加劳动力的妇女比例增加。综合来看，我们的估计表明，低技能移民的持续涌入大大减少了受过教育的美国城市妇女面临的工作-生育权衡。
This paper examines the effects of low-skilled immigration on the work and fertility decisions of high-skilled women born in the United States. The evidence we present indicates that low-skilled immigration to large metropolitan areas between 1980 and 2000 lowered the cost of market-based household services. Using a novel estimation technique to analyze joint decision making, we find that college-educated native females responded, on average, by increasing fertility and reducing short-run labor force participation. These changes were accompanied by a weakening of the negative correlation between work and fertility, as well as an increase in the proportion of women who both bore children and participated in the labor force. Taken in combination, our estimates imply that the continuing influx of low-skilled immigrants substantially reduced the work-fertility tradeoff facing educated urban American women.
