The takeaway? Economic gaps persist, but some key factors, like discrimination, appear to be decreasing over time. This underscores the need for targeted integration policies. Curious? Read more in the paper: doi.org/10.1093/migration/mnae036 4/5

Conventional methods (e.g., matching and decomposition) may overestimate these disparities. Accounting for selection on unobservables reveals smaller but persistent gaps, which highlights the need for more nuanced estimation approaches. 3/5
