Temporary and permanent migrant selection: Theory and evidence of ability-search cost dynamics by Chen, Joyce J., Kosec, Katrina, Mueller, Valerie

“…We provide theoretical and empirical evidence showing that, because short-term migration episodes have less scope for skill-based matching and greater need for screening, temporary migrants are more likely to display intermediate selection on education, with weaker selection on underlying cognitive ability. Longer term migration episodes, in contrast, allow for finer employee-employer matching and greater returns to experience, leading to stronger positive selection on both education and cognitive ability among permanent migrants. …”
