Immigrant Benefit Receipt Revisited: Sensitivity to the Choice of Survey Years and Model Specification
复制并扩展了Baker和Benjamin（1995）关于加拿大男性移民领取失业保险的研究，发现结果对调查年份选择敏感，且标准固定效应模型被更一般的模型拒绝，后者显示移民并未向更高福利领取率同化。
Baker and Benjamin (1995) analyse the receipt of unemployment insurance by immigrant men using two years of the Canadian Survey of Consumer Finances. This study replicates their research on 13 of the annual surveys. Estimates are found to be sensitive to the choice of survey years. Furthermore, the standard fixed effects model of assimilation is rejected when tested against a model that allows for separate year-since-migration effects by arrival cohort. Estimates from the more general model do not indicate higher incidence of benefit receipt, ceteris paribus, among more recent cohorts or that immigrants assimilate toward greater receipt of benefits.
