Economic Record, 86(273), 247-259.https://hdl.handle.net/10289/4008We use data from the New Zealand Census to examine how the arrival of new migrants affects the geographic mobility of the New Zealand (NZ)-born and earlier migrants. We identify the impact of recent migration by exploiting the fact that immigration is spatially concentrated, and therefore a change in the local supply of migrants in a particular skill-group should have an impact on the mobility of similarly skilled non-migrants in that local labour market. Overall, our results provide little support for the hypothesis that migrant inflows displace either the NZ-born or earlier migrants with similar skills in the areas that new migrants are settling.enmigrantNew Zealandgeographic mobilityimmigrationNew Zealand-bornJournal Article10.1111/j.1475-4932.2009.00620.x
