Some information on the session logistics:
If not stated otherwise, the discussant is the following speaker, with the first speaker being the discussant of the last paper. The last speaker of each session is the session chair. (Exception: invited sessions)
Presenters should speak for no more than 20 minutes, and discussants should limit their remarks to no more than 5 minutes. The remaining time should be reserved for audience questions and the presenter’s responses. We suggest following these guidelines also in the (less common) 3-paper sessions in a 2-hour slot, to allow participants to move between sessions. Discussants are encouraged to avoid summarizing the paper. By focusing on a few questions and comments, the discussants can help start a broader discussion with the audience.

The Economic Value of EU Citizenship: Evidence from the 2004 Enlargement and the German Labor Market RWI - Leibniz Institute for Economic Research, Germany Immigrants from non-EU countries face considerable barriers in the German labor market. This paper develops a wage posting model to illustrate the underlying mechanisms and provides reduced-form evidence of the causal effects of EU citizenship on labor market outcomes. I exploit the 2004 enlargement of the European Union, which granted EU status to immigrants from ten Eastern European countries residing in Germany. Using a difference-in-differences framework as well as an event-study and rich administrative data from the Sample of Integrated Labour Market Biographies (SIAB), I compare the labor market trajectories of this group before and after enlargement with those of non-EU immigrants who did not benefit from such a change in legal status. The results show that EU citizenship increases wages by 3.6 percent. Unemployment rates increase by 0.7 percentage points. The effects are persistent over time.
