Regulating high-skilled immigration: The market for medical residents
1Department of Economics, DePaul University, 1 East Jackson, Chicago, IL, 60604, United States.
Abstract:
The effect of high-skill immigration remains central to many US industries and policy debates. Beginning in 2009, the federal government heightened enforcement of existing laws and increased employer fees for the cost of obtaining certain common immigration visas. The change can be viewed as a de facto tax on immigrant labor. I estimate the extent to which high-skill non-citizen workers, in the form of international medical school graduates seeking residency training in US teaching hospitals, are displaced by US citizens who received their medical school training abroad. Changes in immigration policy can have important effects in this labor market with implications for the larger health care system. I find that demand for medical residents among teaching hospitals based on immigration status is highly responsive to increased regulatory cost.
