Immigrants, occupations and firm export performance

This paper investigates the export-enhancing effect of immigrant workers and how this effect varies across occupations. We use a dataset made of French manufacturing firms from 1997 to 2009 and address the problem of endogenous employment choice using an instrumental variable-two-stage least squares (IV-2SLS) strategy and a doubly robust estimator. Our results show that immigrants in both low- and high-skilled occupations foster exports at both the intensive and the extensive margins. In addition, we show that this effect is spread across all export destinations.
