This dissertation studies how internal migration and labor mobility shape labor productivity in different contexts. In the first chapter, with Daniel Lopes and Leonardo Monasterio, I investigate how descendants of immigrants have spread the impacts of historical immigration in Brazil. I apply a surname-based classification of ancestries to a rich linked employer-employee dataset covering every worker in the formal sector in Brazil in 2004-2017. With this classification algorithm, I identify descendants of historical immigrants in Brazil today and investigate how their concentration in labor markets-especially those along the country's agricultural frontier-affects the wages of descendants and non-descendants. I find evidence of positive labor spillovers: wages are 1-2% higher for each additional percentage point in my measure of the concentration of descendants. These results are in accord with a model in which descendants and non-descendants have complementary skills in the production function of the firms, particularly those in the agricultural sector. In the second chapter, with Marieke Kleemans and Emilia Tjernstrom, I investigate how self-selection combined with observed and unobserved characteristics of individuals explains heterogeneity in the returns to rural-urban migration and sectoral mobility in Indonesia. I use the IFLS dataset and recent developments in econometrics to estimate returns for different types of movers. With additional assumptions on the type of self-selection, I also estimate average returns for non-movers. Results show little heterogeneity and small returns in earnings to rural-urban migration but larger and more heterogenous returns to switching from agricultural to non-agricultural sectors, particularly for non-movers. Finally, in the third paper, I investigate the components of the wage premium of current and return migrants within Brazil. My estimates of the migrant wage premia range from 5% to 12%. I use cross-sectional and longitudinal data in different regression specifications and subsamples to investigate the role of self-selection, location-specific effects, and learning on these wage premia. My results suggest that the self-selection of internal migrants in Brazil is based more on absolute advantage (migrants earn more in any location) than comparative advantage (migrants earn more in a specific location).
