Using linked employer-employee-data, unconditional quantile regression models are estimated in order to assess the degree of labor market integration of foreign workers. Applying an extended version of the Oaxaca-Blinder decomposition method, the results provide evidence on driving factors behind wage gaps along the entire wage distribution. There are not only changes in the relative importance of explanatory factors over time, but also possible sources of wage differentials shift between different points of the wage distribution. Differentiating between various areas in Germany, on average, larger wage gaps are revealed in metropolitan areas with at the same time a higher presence of the foreign population. Regarding the size of overall estimated wage gaps, after 2012 a reversal in trend and particular increasing tendencies around median wages are identified.enghttp://opus.uni-hohenheim.de/doku/lic_mit_pod.phpImmigrant-native wage gapOaxaca-Blinder decompositionUnconditional quantile regressionEthnic clusteringGermany330ArbeitsmarktLohnLohndifferenzierungZuwanderungWorkingPaper1796842265urn:nbn:de:bsz:100-opus-20188
