Adult Immigrants

This article provides evidence that, like adult immigrants, male childhood immigrants in the United States, that is, those who arrived before age 18, have experienced a declining trend in their earnings, educational attainment, and English language proficiency over time. Consistent with a strong relationship between the outcomes of parents and children, I find that these declining trends in childhood immigrant outcomes can be explained by controlling for the earnings, and especially educational attainment, of the “potential parents” of these childhood immigrants, that is, adult immigrants from the same birthplace who arrived to the United States during the same time period. Such intergenerational correlations appear to be stronger for childhood immigrants who arrive at a later age. These results highlight the importance of considering immigration from a multi-generational perspective, where the characteristics of immigrants admitted today inform the economic prospects of future generations.

Relative Factor

The increase in the use of fertilizer in agricultural production has been associated with a substantial increase in agricultural productivity in the United States. This increase in fertilizer use has been driven by a variety of economic forces including variations in the price of output and changing relative factor prices. Associated with the increase in the use of fertilizer have been adverse environmental consequences that are not reflected in the costs and returns of agricultural production. That is, externalities exist whose cost need to be internalized. Because the use of fertilizer has been shown to respond to market forces, it is efficient to use the market to control the use of fertilizer. This can be done through, for example, the use of a fertilizer tax.
