Does Immigration Affect Whether US Natives Major in Science and Engineering?
利用2009-11年美国社区调查数据，研究移民比例对本土学生大学主修科学与工程的影响，发现移民对本土女性选择该领域有负面作用。
Immigration may affect the likelihood that US natives major in science or engineering. Foreign-born students may crowd US natives out of science or engineering, or they may have positive spillovers on US natives that attract or retain them in those fields. This study uses data on college majors from the 2009-11 American Community Surveys to examine the effect of the immigrant share in US natives' age cohort while they are in high school or in college. We find some evidence that immigration adversely affects whether US-born women who graduated from college majored in a science or engineering field.
