The informational structure of migration decision and migrants self-selection

We analyze the pattern of migrants' self-selection in unobservables when there is uncertainty about foreign wages. Negative selection becomes more likely, and a greater dispersion of wages at destination no longer suffices to predict that immigrants will outperform natives.
