本研究探讨了美国州内居民学费立法对可能是无证拉丁裔移民的大学入学几率的影响。该研究采用了差异-无差异策略，使用了当前人口调查合并的外出轮换组的数据。生活在有学费政策的州的外国出生的非公民拉美裔学生在该政策实施后入读大学的可能性是没有此类立法的州的同类学生的 1.54 倍。结果特别针对在外国出生的拉丁裔非公民，而不是其他拥有美国公民身份的少数群体，包括在美国出生和入籍的拉丁裔。
This study examines the effect of in-state resident tuition legislation across the United States on the college enrollment odds of individuals likely to be undocumented Latino immigrants. The study employs a differences-indifferences strategy using data from the Current Population Survey's Merged Outgoing Rotation Groups. Foreign-born noncitizen Latinos living in states with a tuition policy were 1.54 times more likely to have enrolled in college after the policy's implementation than similar students in states without such legislation. Results are particular to Latino foreign-born noncitizens and not other minority groups with U.S. citizenship, including U.S.-born and naturalized Latinos.
