个人人力资本的国家来源是其价值的关键决定因素。在国外获得的教育和劳动力市场经验明显低于在国内获得的人力资本。这一差异可以充分解释移民相对于以色列本土居民的收入劣势。不同来源国返回外国教育的差异可能反映出其质量和与东道国劳动力市场的兼容性方面的差异。回归国外经验通常是微不足道的。在移民后获得额外教育似乎通过提高在国外获得的教育回报而带来复合好处。
The national origin of an individual's human capital is a crucial determinant of its value. Education and labor market experience acquired abroad are significantly less valued than human capital obtained domestically. This difference can fully explain the earnings disadvantage of immigrants relative to comparable natives in Israel. Variation in the return to foreign schooling across origin countries may reflect differences in its quality and compatibility with the host labor market. The return to foreign experience is generally insignificant. Acquiring additional education following immigration appears to confer a compound benefit by raising the return to education acquired abroad.
