Together with Lucia Mýtna Kureková, CELSI team consisting of Martin Kahanec and Martin Guzi published a co-authored study on how institutions shape immigrant-native labor market gaps in Europe in Migration Studies.

The authors show that institutions matter for immigrant-native labor market gaps and explore how they matter. The main contribution of the paper is that it empirically connects immigrant-native labor market gaps with the Varieties of Capitalism framework; it suggests an innovative 2-step methodology, which more realistically models the diversity of immigrants' and natives' experiences in European labor markets; and it provides an encompassing account of a systematized range of institutional and policy drivers of immigrant-native labor market gaps in Europe for various immigrant groups.

"We hope to inspire further theorization of this complex relationship, which is so far badly undertheorized, and also deeper empirical inquiries into the roles of especially those institutional drivers that our study identified as highly significant," commented Kahanec.
