How important is homeland education for refugees’ economic position in The Netherlands?
利用荷兰移民官员登记的难民母国教育数据，研究教育对难民抵达后五年内经济地位的影响，发现高等教育没有带来经济回报。
We use data on refugees admitted to The Netherlands that include registration of education in their homeland by immigration officers. Such data are seldom available. We investigate the quality and reliability of the registrations and then use them to assess effects on refugees’ economic position during the first 5 years after arrival. The most remarkable finding is the absence of returns to higher education.
