We analyze Polish immigration in the context of the 2004 enlargement of the European Union and find a positive and significant spillover effect of the immigrants on the number of local inventors in German counties in 2001-2010. For causal identification, we exploit a historical episode in the Polish migration history to Germany before the fall of the Iron Curtain and construct a shift-share instrument. Our results differ from findings for high-skilled migration to the United States, which is particularly interesting as Polish immigration to Germany was not based on selection by qualification in our period of analysis. 000029077 542__ $$fLicense: CC BY 3.0 IGO 000029077 651_0 $$aEurope$$xCommerce$$xLaw and legislation. 000029077 651_0 $$aGermany$$xCommerce$$xLaw and legislation. 000029077 651_0 $$aUnited States$$xCommerce$$xLaw and legislation. 000029077 7001_ $$aCandel-Haug, Katharina. 000029077 7001_ $$aCuntz, Alexander 000029077 7001_ $$aFalck, Oliver 000029077 830_0 $$aEconomics Working Papers. 000029077 8564_ $$94b201711-c3bc-4028-a83b-88ff2199c247$$s2092422$$zComplete document (PDF)$$uhttps://tind.wipo.int/record/29077/files/wipo_pub_econstat_wp_52.pdf 000029077 901__ $$aWIPO/PUB/ECONSTAT/WP/52 000029077 902__ $$a4376_en 000029077 903__ $$aEconomics working papers 000029077 904__ $$aWorking paper 000029077 909CO $$ooai:tind.wipo.int:29077$$pWIPOPUB 000029077 980__ $$aWIPOPUB$$aERWP
