TLDR
This paper analyzed differences in unemployment between immigrants and natives over the business cycle, using a comprehensive matched employer-employee data set for Austria, and found that the unemployment rate of immigrants from outside the European Economic Area and their individual transition rates into unemployment are significantly more volatile over the cycle than those of natives.Abstract:
We analyze differences in unemployment between immigrants and natives over the business cycle, using a comprehensive matched employer–employee data set for Austria. We find that the unemployment rate of immigrants from outside the European Economic Area and their individual transition rates into unemployment are significantly more volatile over the cycle than those of natives. We test for existing theories according to which a greater variability in employment can be due to a selection of workers into specific industries, firms, or temporary jobs. We find no evidence for the differential unemployment response of immigrant workers in our sample to be driven by such selection.read more
