This paper examines the causal impact of immigration on entrepreneurship among US-born non-Hispanic whites in non-agricultural private sectors from 1980 to 2018. Using self-employment as a proxy for entrepreneurship and distinguishing between incorporated individuals and unincorporated self-employed workers, I find a sizable negative impact of immigration on native self-employment. Importantly, this effect is consistent across incorporated and unincorporated self-employment and remains robust across demographic groups based on gender, age, and education. Results are robust to the choice of controls and estimation methods.

移民对美国本土创业的影响：1980-2018 年自营职业分析

本文研究了 1980 年至 2018 年间移民对美国出生的非西班牙裔白人在非农业私营部门创业的因果影响。使用自营职业作为创业的代表，并区分法人个人和非法人个体经营者，我发现移民对本地自营职业有相当大的负面影响。重要的是，这种效应在法人和非法人个体经营者中是一致的，并且在基于性别、年龄和教育程度的人口群体中仍然强劲。结果对于控制和估计方法的选择是稳健的。
