Self-selection and earnings : a cross section analysis of US immigrants

by M. Azizur Rahman

The purpose of the article is to study the self-selection-corrected earnings among working male immigrants of three major ancestral groups - European, Asian and Hispanics - vis-a-vis their native-born counterparts in the USA. It shows that, after correcting for selectivity bias, Asian immigrants have a slight advantage over European immigrants in both earnings characteristics and returns to these characteristics.
