Immigrant selectivity and wages: the evidence for women.
研究移民时的经济条件如何影响美国外国出生女性的后续工资，并比较了与男性的差异，使用1983年4月当前人口调查数据。
In an effort to extend the analysis of selectivity to female immigrants this paper examines the impact of economic conditions at the time of migration on the subsequent wages of foreign-born women in the United States. In addition the variables chosen to describe the migration decision have been expanded to include the effects of household status and immigration policy. These results are compared to previous results for men and provide additional evidence about how the context of the migration decision affects the subsequent success of immigrants in the United States....The sample for this project comes from the April 1983 Current Population Survey and consists of married native- and foreign-born women between the ages of 16 and 64.
