论文摘要：We study how a significant relaxation of internal-migration restrictions affects labor market outcomes of both incumbent migrants and natives, exploiting the 2014 Hukou reform in China, which substantially removed the migration barriers of cities with an urban population below 5 million (non-megacities). Using a difference-in-differences method, we find migrants’ wages in non-megacities experienced approximately a 2.6%-7.9% decline relative to that in megacities after the policy. By contrast, the policy had non-negative impacts on the wages of the natives in non-megacities. These results suggest the downward wage pressure imposed by new migrants falls primarily on incumbent migrants rather than on natives.
