We extend the Altonji and Card (1991) framework for analysing the impact of immigrants on
natives’ wages from two to three labour types and estimate reduced form wage equations for
The Netherlands, United Kingdom and Norway. We find very small effects on natives’ wages
and no dominant robust patterns of substitution and complementarity. Effects on wages of
earlier immigrants are larger but less reliable. Further work should focus on these own
effects.
