本文模拟了移民的同化过程，并证明了他们的目的地经验和到达后的人力资本之间的互补性。贝叶斯学习评估，使用面板数据的工资从泰国曼谷。结果发现，（一）教育回报率低于本地人的移民，（二）目的地经验的积累提高了移民的工资，（三）经验的影响是更大的教育代理和（四）互补性增加目的地经验的积累。研究结果表明，受教育程度较高的移民学习效率较高，能够完成更复杂的任务，最终在目的地市场产生更高的工资增长。
This paper models the assimilation process of migrants and shows evidence of the complementarity between their destination experience and upon-arrival human capital. Bayesian learning is assessed, using panel data of wages from Bangkok, Thailand. It is found that (i) schooling returns are lower for migrants than for natives, (ii) the accumulation of destination experience raises wages for migrants, (iii) the experience effect is greater for more educated agents and (iv) the complementarity increases as destination experience accumulates. The results imply that more educated migrants have higher learning efficiency and can perform tasks of greater complexity, ultimately yielding higher wage growth in the destination market.
