摘要

这项研究考察了与移民同龄人一起接受教育的短期和长期影响。在国家青少年健康纵向研究中，我们利用准实验设计，使用跨年级、校内的学生队列/年级组成变化。我们发现，与本土学生相比，与其他外国出生的学生接触的增加对外国出生的孩子有积极影响，包括对危险的健康行为、社交孤立、心理健康和学业努力。虽然我们发现了对语言和教育程度的负面影响，但这些差异并没有转化为成年后更糟糕的社会经济地位。最后，我们提出的证据表明，这些差异效应源于高度隔离的学校友谊网络。

The Effects of Foreign-Born Peers in US High Schools and Middle Schools

This study examines the short-term and long-term impact of being educated with immigrant peers. We leverage a quasi-experimental design using across-grade, within-school variation in cohort/grade composition for students in the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health. We find positive effects for foreign-born students compared with native-born students from increasing exposure to other foreign-born students, including on risky health behaviors, social isolation, mental health, and academic effort. While we find negative effects on language and educational attainment, these differences do not translate into worse socioeconomic status in adulthood. Finally, we present evidence suggesting that these differential effects stem from highly segregated, school friendship networks.

期刊介绍： Journal of Human Capital is dedicated to human capital and its expanding economic and social roles in the knowledge economy. Developed in response to the central role human capital plays in determining the production, allocation, and distribution of economic resources and in supporting long-term economic growth, JHC is a forum for theoretical and empirical work on human capital—broadly defined to include education, health, entrepreneurship, and intellectual and social capital—and related public policy analyses. JHC encompasses microeconomic, macroeconomic, and international economic perspectives on the theme of human capital. The journal offers a platform for discussion of topics ranging from education, labor, health, and family economics.
