Migrants and Economic Performance in the EU15:
wiiw participated in 3 studies recently:
Alvarez-Plata/Bruecker et al (2008): The impact of East-West migration after EU Enlargement

Content of the study:
Part I: Descriptive Analysis using LFS data
Migrant workers in the EU15; their places of origin, their ‘skills’ (educational attainment levels); their allocations across industries and ‘job types’; skills-jobs mismatches; comparisons with ‘domestic’ employees.
Part 2: Econometric analysis: Migrants and productivity and output growth
LFS data supplemented with industry level (EU-KLEMS) data and regional statisticsMigrants’ presence at industry and regional levels and productivity and output growth; the impact of skill structure of migrants; impact of integration policy indicators.Main challenge: causality and endogeneity issues. Unresolved
Policy Brief: Focus on Austria relative to EU15: skill composition of migrants; skills-jobs mismatches

Austria and its Migrant Labour Force:
Comparison with EU15 peers
Main policy results from Huber et al (2009) and Landesmann et al (2010):
Austria has (comparatively) an unfavourable skill composition of migrants; especially in the context of various skill-biased developments
Evidence of under-utilisation of migrants’ skills (‘brain waste’)
Austria has a comparatively very low indicator on anti-discrimination policy setting
Insufficient use of high-skilled migrants in high-skilled industries and in ‘skill-intensive jobs’ - compared to ‘peer countries’
