“…There is a large body of literature providing robust evidence that ethnic and language minorities face various forms of labor market disadvantages in European labor markets; see Kahanec and Zaiceva (2009) the costs for employers of hiring a native relative to hiring an immigrant‖ and finds that negative effect of a strict EPL on employment and hiring rates is less pronounced for immigrants than for natives. The same argument, however, suggests that immigrants are more likely to accept informal jobs.…”

“…One of the most intriguing questions about the post-enlargement migration wave from the Baltic countries is the behavior of Russian-speaking minorities, many of whom in Estonia and Latvia do not have citizenship; and hence, they are not covered by the free mobility provisions (see Kahanec and Zaiceva (2009) for a study on the citizenship effects on labor market outcomes in Europe).…”

Determinants of migration and return, as well as selection issues are discussed. Post-enlargement migrants from all three countries were significantly less educated than stayers. After accession, medium-educated workers were most likely to move, other things equal, and human capital became increasingly less pro-migration over time. Return migrants differ from all movers in many ways and, in particular, are more educated. Although brain drain was not a feature of post-accession Baltic migration, brain waste was: during 2006-2007, the proportion of overqualified among higheducated movers ranged from five out of ten for Latvia to seven out of ten for Lithuania, but it was around one fifth among high-educated stayers in all three countries. We find that the free movement of labor partially introduced in 2004 (and expanded in 2006) for EU citizens, although excluding Baltic non-citizens, brought about significant changes in how ethnicity and citizenship affect workers' mobility. We conclude by discussing migration perspectives in the context of recession. Terms of use: Documents in D I S C U S S I O N P A P E R S E R I E SJEL Classification: J61, J15

“…Studies have consistently found that recent immigrants continue to encounter significant barriers when searching for jobs in the labor market of their destination countries (Aydemir & Skuterud, 2005;Frenette & Morissette, 2005: Kahanec & Zaiceva, 2009Wald & Fang, 2009). Immigrant job search is a process of selecting different search methods that immigrants use to identify job opportunities and evaluate strategies for job success in their country of immigration (Greve, Salaff, & Chan, 2007).…”

Citation of such a paper should account for its provisional character. A revised version may be available directly from the author. We examined the liability-of-foreignness (LOF) hypothesis for immigrant and native job seekers by analyzing a national dataset that tracks their use of job-search methods and their associated job outcomes in the Canadian labor market. To our knowledge this is the first empirical test of LOF at the individual-level while controlling for variables at multiple levels. We found support for LOF when job applicants used the rich media job-search methods of social networks and recruitment agencies, but not when they used the lean media of newspaper ads and the internet. Study limitations, implications, and future research are discussed.JEL Classification: J15, J71, J78
