  • Title: Earnings by language group in Quebec in 1980 and emigration from Quebec between 1976 and 1981.
    Author: Grenier G.
    Journal: Can J Econ; 1987 Nov; 20(4):774-91. PubMed ID: 12268705.
    Abstract:
    "Between 1976 and 1981 many pople moved out of Quebec, especially anglophones. To the extent that a person's decision to stay or to move may be related to earnings prospects, earnings comparisons with individuals who lived in Quebec in 1981 may suffer from a selection bias. This paper analyses emigration from Quebec and earnings with a two-equation model, using a sample of men drawn from the from the 1981 [Canadian] census. It is found that a selection bias is indeed present for anglophones and that the returns to learning French may be underestimated when that bias is ignored."
