초록

This paper investigates how local firms respond to immigration through capital investment in establishments. Using data from the American Community Surveys from 2002 to 2011, we find that immigration is positively associated with establishment entry level and negatively associated with exits. In particular, high-skill immigration is found to have a greater positive impact on establishment entries, which indicates the importance of considering skill heterogeneity in studying the effects of immigration.
