abstract: 'By allowing individuals to engage in remote relationships with foreign
employers, online labor markets have the potential to mitigate the
inefficiency costs due to the legal barriers and other frictions
deterring international physical migration. This study investigates how
the supply of foreign labor in digital and physical markets responds
differently to monetary incentives. We use a unique data set containing
information on digital labor flows from a major global online labor
platform in conjunction with data on physical labor flows. We exploit
short-term fluctuations in the exchange rate as a source of econometric
identification: a depreciation of a country''s currency against the U.S.
dollar increases the incentives of its workers to seek digital and
physical employment from employers based in the United States. Using a
panel count data model, we find that monetary incentives induced by
depreciations of foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar are
positively associated with the supply of foreign labor in digital
markets, as expected from the frictionless nature of electronic markets.
However, we fail to find a positive relationship between monetary
incentives and the supply of foreign labor in physical markets, which
might be expected due to the substantial bureaucratic restrictions and
transaction costs associated with physical migration. We further examine
how countries'' income and information and communications technologies
development levels moderate the positive relationship between monetary
incentives and digital labor flows. Our findings are useful for gauging
the extent to which digital labor flows can alleviate the economic
inefficiencies from the restrictions on physical migration.'
