title = "Immigrants and the Benefits of Urban Experience",
abstract = "This paper studies the static and dynamic determinants of the urban wage premium for natives and immigrants. Using a panel of the full working population in Denmark for the years 1987-2016, we show that urban experience is rewarded more in wages than rural experience. Splitting our sample into natives, western immigrants, and non-western immigrants, we show that non-western immigrants do not benefit from the urban experience premium unless they move to a rural area. We interpret these results as evidence that non-western immigrants are strongly tied to cities through non-wage amenities such as the network of co-ethnics.",
