English Language Proficiency and the Determination of Earnings among Foreign-Born Men
基于1976年收入与教育调查数据，研究发现英语水平对外国出生男性的收入有显著正向影响，尤其对西班牙裔和亚裔男性影响最大。
English language proficiency, a relatively new variable which has not been well specified in recent studies, is used to explain differences in earnings among foreign-born men based on the 1976 Survey of Income and Education. Taking into account the standard human capital and personal characteristics, English language proficiency is found to have significant positive influence on earnings for all ethnic groups. In particular, the earnings of foreign-born Hispanic and Asian men relative to foreign-born men of European ethnicity are most affected by English language proficiency.
