The Effect of Naturalization on Wage Growth: A Panel Study of Young Male Immigrants
研究年轻男性移民入籍后工资增长加速的现象，发现入籍消除了就业壁垒，使移民获得公共部门、白领和工会工作，且来自欠发达国家的移民获益更大。
For young male immigrants, naturalization facilitates assimilation into the U.S. labor market. Following naturalization, immigrants gain access to public-sector, white-collar, and union jobs, and wage growth acceleratesconsistent with removal of employment barriers. The faster wage growth of immigrants who naturalize might alternatively result from greater human capital investment prior to naturalization, stemming from a long-term commitment to U.S. labor markets, but there is no evidence that wage growth accelerates or the distribution of jobs improves until citizenship is attained. Finally, the gains from naturalization are greater for immigrants from less-developed countries and persist when we control for unobserved productivity.
