Education and Ethnicity in Canada: An Intergenerational Perspective
估计加拿大不同族裔的教育水平和回报率，发现族裔平均教育年限与回报正相关，且与上一代生育率负相关，支持子女数量-质量权衡模型，并观察到族裔教育结果的代际收敛非常缓慢。
Ethnic and intergenerational aspects of human capital investment are explored. Levels of, and (cross-sectional) returns to, education across ethnic groups in Canada are estimated and large differences observed. For men, a positive correlation exists between ethnic group average years of education and its return. We also find large negative correlations between ethnic group average educational outcomes and the previous generation's fertility, suggesting a role for home production as a complement to formal education and supporting models of child quantity-quality trade-offs. Very slow intergenerational convergence in ethnic group level educational and labor market outcomes is also observed.
