Trends in the returns to social assimilation : earnings premiums among U.S. immigrants that marry natives
Furtado, Delia; Song, Tao - 2014
Previous studies show that immigrants married to natives earn higher wages than immigrants married to other immigrants. Using data from the 1980-2000 U.S. censuses and the 2005- 2010 American Community Surveys, we show that these wage premiums have increased over time. Our evidence suggests that...

Estimating immigrant earnings profiles when migrations are temporary
Dustmann, Christian; Görlach, Joseph-Simon - 2016
The assumption that all migrations are permanent, which pervaded the early microdata-based research on immigrant career profiles, is not supported by the empirical evidence. Rather, many - if not most - migrations appear to be temporary. In this paper, therefore, we illustrate the estimation...
