English‐Language Skills and the Earnings of Self‐Employed Immigrants in the United States: A Note
利用美国人口普查数据,分析了1980年代英语流利程度对自雇移民男性收入的影响,发现1990年英语能力比1980年更显著地决定了他们的收入。
Employing U.S. Census data, this study analyzes how English‐language fluency affected the earnings of self‐employed immigrant men in the 1980s. Our results suggest that English proficiency became a more important determinant of earnings for foreign‐born entrepreneurs in 1990 compared with 1980, even while controlling for factors affecting selection into self‐employment.
