Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract Do international students graduating from US colleges and universities affect labour market outcomes of similarly educated native‐born workers? I address this question by exploiting a change in US visa policy that results in increases in the labour supply of master’s‐level international students to the US labour market in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields. Estimates show that increases in their labour supply via temporary work permits in a certain field reduce employment of recently graduated native‐born holders of a master’s degree but increase earnings of experienced native‐born holders of a master’s degree in the same field. These findings support the hypothesis of substitution between skills of similarly educated immigrants and native‐born individuals in the same age group and complementarity between skills of those in different age groups.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
