Project Description
labor market and had a stronger effect on regions close to the border. The greater availability of cross-border workers increased foreign employment substantially. Although many crossborder workers were highly educated, wages of highly educated natives increased.

These effects are mainly driven by firms that reported skill shortages before the reform.
