Wealth and the nativity earnings gap

Author

Abstract

I document that differences in wealth between natives and immigrants contribute to the nativity wage gap. The evidence suggests that the non-earnings determinants of wealth, such as institutional barriers that prevent immigrants from accessing financial markets, and idiosyncratic preferences that affect immigrants’ willingness to use financial instruments, play a particularly important role.
