Title: Reservation wages of first- and second-generation migrants  
Abstract: We analyse the reservation wages of first- and second-generation 
	 migrants, based on rich survey data of the unemployed in Germany. Our 
	 results confirm the hypothesis that reservation wages increase over 
	 migrant generations and over time, suggesting that the mobility benefit 
	 of immigration may be limited in time.
