Why Are Some Immigrant Groups More Successful Than Others?
研究发现移民群体的教育成就受移民政策、来源国人口和教育水平影响，且与移民数量负相关，与来源国人口和教育水平正相关。
The composition of immigrants depends not only on immigrant choice but also on immigration policy, because slots are rationed. Policy determines immigrant attainment, as evidenced by immigrants from Algeria having higher educational attainment than those from Israel or Japan. Theory predicts and evidence confirms that immigrant attainment is inversely related to the number admitted from a source country and positively related to population and education levels at home. A parsimonious specification has only two variables yet explains a majority of the variation in educational attainment of US immigrant groups. The theory and predictions are bolstered by Swedish data.
