Job Search and Immigrant Assimilation: An Earnings Frontier Approach
通过衡量移民在求职过程中利用的信息量来研究劳动力市场同化,认为信息随居住时间增长而增加,从而缩小实际收入与潜在最高收入之间的差距。
This study examines labor market assimilation by measuring the information utilized by immigrants during job search. Assimilation is assumed to occur whenever such information increases with length of residence in the United States (and repeated job searches). The authors assert that information utilized during job search reduces differentials between actual and potential (maximum attainable) earnings. Coauthors are Henry W. Herzog, Jr.; Richard A. Hofler; and Alan M. Schlottmann. Copyright 1992 by MIT Press.
