Abstract

We study the effects of low skilled immigration on firm profits, average wages, capital and total factor productivity (TFP) by combining firm-level and local labour market data from Italy. We find that low skilled immigration increases profits. This effect is small on average, larger for small firms and considerably larger for firms operating in local labour markets with a higher than median share of (before sample) low skilled employment. In these areas, substitution effects reduce average wages much more than elsewhere. Low skilled immigration has increased profits by lowering average wages and by increasing the capital stock, with no effect on TFP.
