  • Title: Asian-born scientists and engineers: their immigration flow and labor market adjustment.
    Author: Lee M.
    Journal: Korea J Popul Dev; 1993 Jul; 22(1):69-88. PubMed ID: 12286535.
    Abstract:
    "This paper examines the flow of Asian-born scientists and engineers and their labor market adjustment. First, main elements to affect their immigration flow are described: supply, demand, and institution....The scarcity of domestic workers is the most important factor affecting demand of immigration. Institution, such as immigration policies, is another element to influence the immigration flow....Second, by using the 1980 U.S. Census data set, their labor market adjustment is explored in terms of hourly wages. Compared to the native-born white, there is no evidence that Asian-born scientists and engineers receive lower wages or lower return on human capital."
