چکیده
"This paper provides new estimates of the impact of immigration and trade on the U.S. labor market.... We examine the relation between economic outcomes for native workers and immigrant flows to regional labor markets....

Comments and discussion by John DiNardo, John M. Abowd, and others are included (pp. 68-85).
