In this paper I investigate the impact of recent immigration on males' earnings distributions in the major regions of the United States. I use six counterfactual scenarios to describe alternative regional skill distributions and wage structures for the population of natives and long-term immigrants in the absence of recent immigration. I find that immigration over the last three decades can account for a substantial portion of the variation in inequality across the regions. Recent immigration has contributed moderately to national growth in males' earnings inequality, primarily by changing the composition of the population.
在本文中，我研究了近期移民对美国主要地区男性收入分布的影响。我使用六种反事实情景来描述在没有近期移民的情况下，本地人和长期移民群体的替代区域技能分布和工资结构。我发现，过去三十年的移民可以解释各地区不平等变化的很大一部分。近期移民对全国男性收入不平等的增长有一定贡献，主要是通过改变人口构成。
