  • Title: An assessment of the human capital content of international migrants: an application to U.S. immigration.
    Author: Mcdowell JM, Singell LD.
    Journal: Reg Stud; 1993; 27(4):351-63. PubMed ID: 12344799.
    Abstract:
    The authors present a methodology for measuring the magnitude of international migration flows that includes an earnings equation approach as an economic dimension. "Applying our methodology to U.S. immigration, we find considerable variation across source regions in the value of immigrants. Moreover, we find that simply comparing initial earnings without controlling for differences in the characteristics and migration patterns of immigrants from the various source regions can misrepresent the relative earnings potential or value of migrants."
