[Abstract]
We use a large and geographically varying inflow of over 2.5 million Syrian migrants to Turkey between 2012 and 2015 to study the effect of migration on local economies. We do not find diverse employment or wage effects for native-born Turkish workers overall, or for those without a high school degree. These results are robust to a range of strategies to construct reliable control groups. To rationalize the findings, we document the importance of three migration-induced demand channels: the complementarity between native and migrant labor, housing demand, and increased entrepreneurial activities.
