| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Mass migration from the former Soviet Union increased the Israeli population by 12% in the first half of the 1990s.This exodus was precipitated by the liftingof emigration restrictions in an unstable USSR and by the open immigration policy of Israel toward Soviet Jews, who faced more restrictive entry policies elsewhere. The author uses this natural experiment to study the impact of immigraton on the labor market outcomes of native Israelis. |
