Summary/Abstract: This research estimates the effect on the Colombian labor market of the increasing migratory flow from Venezuela, focused on the salary variation of Colombian workers. It seeks to answer the following problematic question: Has the salary of Colombians been reduced as the result of the arrival of Venezuelan migrants? This study classifies migrants and natives by educational level and work experience. Venezuelan workers can act as close or complementary substitutes for Colombian workers. The data comes from the Great Integrated Household Survey (GIHS) carried out by the National Administrative Department of Statistics (DANE).
