Does the US Labor Market Reward International Experience?
研究美国劳动力市场是否奖励国际经验，通过比较出生在美国境外但拥有美国公民身份的人与本土出生者的收入，发现国际经验带来收入溢价，尤其在重视创造力和创新的职业中，女性受益更明显。
A typical strategy for measuring the returns to international experience--comparing the earnings of returning migrants to comparable non-migrants--has been criticized for not adequately accounting for self-selection. I suggest an alternative, testing whether individuals born beyond US borders, but into US citizenship, earn more in US labor markets relative to counterparts born on US soil. Those born abroad to US citizens did not self-select an international experience. Using the ACS, I find that the US market rewards international experience, especially in occupations that value creativity and innovation. Women, in particular, are handsomely rewarded for international human capital.
