The Performance of Immigrants in the Canadian Labor Market
研究1970年代移民到加拿大的经济融入情况，发现不同时期移民的劳动力市场结果差异持续存在，且多数移民群体的融入速度缓慢甚至为负。
In this article, the authors examine the economic assimilation of immigrants to Canada. They provide new evidence on immigrants who arrived in the 1970s and document an increase in the dispersion of labor market outcomes across immigrants of different vintages over time. The authors' results confirm U.S. evidence of permanent differences across immigrant cohorts. What distinguishes the Canadian experience is small or negative rates of assimilation for most cohorts over the sample period. Finally, the authors test the overidentification of the assimilation process specified in previous studies and fail to reject the usual cohort fixed-effect specification.
