	abstract = {This paper analyzes long-term effects of skilled-worker immigration
on productivity for the Huguenot migration to Prussia. In 1685,
religiously persecuted French Huguenots settled in Brandenburg-
Prussia and compensated for population losses due to plagues during
the Thirty Years' War. We combine Huguenot immigration lists from
1700 with Prussian firm-level data on the value of inputs and outputs
in 1802 in a unique database to analyze the effects of skilled immigration
to places with underused economic potential. Exploiting this
settlement pattern in an instrumental-variable approach, we find substantial
long-term effects of Huguenot settlement on the productivity
of textile manufactories.},
