This approach depends on the precision of the method, is not necessarily conclusive, and fails to be quantitati...

Differential Employment Patterns for Citizens and Non-Citizens in Science and Engineering in the United States: Minting and Competitive Effects

We examine the consequences of the heavy inflow of foreign talent for U.S. scientists and engineers over the period 1973-1997 using data from the Survey of Doctorate Recipients. Of particular interest is whether non-citizens trained in the United States have displaced citizens from jobs in science and engineering (S&E). Using a novel adaptation of the shift-share technique, we find that citizen...
