abstract: 'I analyze how allowing undocumented immigrants to legally obtain
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
driver''s licenses shifts commuting patterns, increases job
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
accessibility, and improves labor market outcomes. Using state-and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
nativity-level variation in reforms, I show that granting driving
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
privileges to the undocumented increases vehicle ownership and the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
probability of car commute by 3 percentage points. This improvement in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
accessibility leads to a 1 percentage point increase in the employment
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
rate. The employment effects are larger in low-accessibility localities,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
which are more rural and entail longer commuting times. Undocumented
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
immigrants exhibit stronger positive employment effects in more
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
vehicle-dependent occupations. These findings highlight the quantitative
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
importance of transportation barriers in determining the labor market
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
outcomes of minority workers.'
