Immigration: Waiting for green.

The effects of immigration on NHS waiting times.

This paper analyzes the effects of immigration on waiting times for the National Health Service (NHS) in England. Linking administrative records from Hospital Episode Statistics (2003-2012) with immigration data drawn from the UK Labour Force Survey, we find that immigration reduced waiting times for outpatient referrals and did not have significant effects on waiting times in accident and emer...

Taken by Storm : Hurricanes , Migrant Networks

How readily do potential migrants respond to increased returns to migration? Even if origin areas become less attractive vis-à-vis migration destinations, fixed costs can prevent increased migration. We examine migration responses to hurricanes, which reduce the attractiveness of origin locations. Restricted-access U.S. Census data allows precise migration measures and analysis of more migrant-...

Immigration and the Canadian Earnings Distribution in the First Half of the 20th Century

We use newly available micro data samples from the 1911, 1921, 1931 and 1941 Canadian Censuses to investigate the impact of immigration on the Canadian earnings distribution in the first half of the 20th Century. We show that earnings inequality increased dramatically between 1911 and 1941, with most of the change occurring in the 1920s. This coincided with two of largest immigration decades in...

Computation of Waiting Time to Successful Experiment Using Age-dependent Branching Model

Slavtchova-Bojkova, M., 1999. Computation of waiting time to successful experiment using age-dependent branching model. Ecol. Modelling, This paper considers the properties of the waiting time to survive forever of the supercritical age-dependent branching process modified with an immigration component. Conditioning on ultimate extinction of the process we analyze the conditional distribution o...
