This book collects the main papers written by George Borjas on the
economics of immigration during a decades-long career. Although
there was little interest in immigration issues among economists
before the 1980s, the literature has exploded since. The essays
collected in this book represent some of the contributions that
helped build the foundations of immigration economics. The essays
cover a wide range of topics, including the assimilation of
immigrants, the skill characteristics of the immigrant population,
the intergenerational progress of immigrant households, the
measurement of the impact of immigrants on the labor markets of
receiving countries, and the calculation of the economic benefits
from immigration. The essays included in this volume continue to be
widely cited and have often set the research agenda for subsequent
research on immigration in both receiving and sending countries.
