Using harmonized wealth data and a novel decomposition approach, we show that cohort effects exist in the income …

We document the educational integration of immigrant children with a focus on the link between family size and educational decisions and distinguishing particularly between first- and second-generation immigrants and between source country groups. First, for immigrant adolescents, we show...
