RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 The Impact of Immigration on the Educational Attainment of Natives JF Journal of Human Resources JO J Hum Resour FD University of Wisconsin Press SP 1060 OP 1118 DO 10.3368/jhr.52.4.0115-6913R1 VO 52 IS 4 A1 Jennifer Hunt YR 2017 UL http://jhr.uwpress.org/content/52/4/1060.abstract AB Using a state panel from 1940–2010, I examine the impact of immigration on the high school completion of natives in the United States. Immigrant children could influence native children’s educational experience as well as their expected future labor market. I find evidence for both channels and a positive net effect. An increase of one percentage point in the share of immigrants in the population aged 11–64 increases the probability that natives aged 11–17 eventually complete 12 years of schooling by 0.3 percentage point. I account for the endogeneity of immigrant flows by using instruments based on 1940 settlement patterns.
