The Earnings and Human Capital of American Jews
分析第二代美国犹太人的收入与人力资本回报，发现犹太男性收入比非犹太人高16%，教育回报率高20%，且经验收入曲线更陡，表明犹太人在创造和使用人力资本方面更具优势。
This paper analyzes the earnings and returns from human capital investments of second-generation American Jews. Compared with non-Jews, Jewish men have 16 percent higher earnings (other things the same), a 20 percent higher rate of return from schooling, and a steeper experience-earnings profile. These patterns persist even after controlling for occupation, self-employment status, and geographic concentration in the New York area. There are no systematic differences among Jews by parents' country of birth. The findings suggest that American Jews are more productive in creating and using human capital, and that this has encouraged greater investments in human capital.
