Labor Market Effects of September 11th on Arab and Muslim Residents of the United States
Kaushal, Neeraj; Kaestner, Robert; Reimers, Cordelia
Journal of Human Resources, v42 n2 p275-308 Spr 2007
We investigated whether the September 11, 2001 terrorists' attacks had any effect on employment, earnings, and residential mobility of first- and second-generation Arab and Muslim men in the United States. We find that September 11th did not significantly affect employment and hours of work of Arab and Muslim men, but was associated with a 9-11 percent decline in their real wage and weekly earnings, with some evidence that this decline was temporary. The adverse earnings effects were strongly linked to hate crime incidence. Estimates also suggest that the terrorists' attacks reduced intrastate migration of Arab and Muslim men. (Contains 8 tables, 2 figures, and 24 endnotes.)
