Immigrant Economic Assimilation: Evidence from UK Longitudinal Data between 1978 and 2006
Lemos, Sara - Department of Economics, Leicester University - 2011
We exploit a large and long longitudinal dataset to estimate the immigrant-native earnings gap at entry and over time … estimate the associated immigrant earnings growth rate and immigrant-native earnings convergence rate. Our estimates suggest … that immigrants from more recent cohorts fare better than earlier ones at entry. Furthermore, the earnings of immigrants …
