What difference does a country make? : earnings by Soviets in the Soviet Union and in the United States

by Ira N. Gang (Department of Economics, Rutgers University, New Brunswick, N.J.) & Robert C. Stuart (Department of Economics, Rutgers University, New Brunswick, N.J.)

This paper utilizes the Soviet Interview Project (SIP) and the 1990 U.S. census to identify and to track a sample of Soviet émigrés. After examining basic descriptive statistics on income mobility, we specify and estimate earnings functions to examine the impact of a variety of explanatory factors on household earnings in the Soviet Union and in the United States.
