Does Immigration Affect the Long-Term Educational Outcomes of Natives? Quasi-Experimental EvidenceEric D.

Daniele Pasermanaffiliation not provided to SSRN 0000 The Economic Journal, Vol. 119, Issue 540, pp. 1243-1269, October 2009 Abstract: This article uses the mass migration wave to Israel in the 1990s to examine the impact of immigrant concentration during elementary school on the long-term academic outcomes of native students in high school. The results suggest that the overall presence of immigrants in a grade had an adverse effect on the chances of passing the high school matriculation exam, which is necessary to attend college. This result is robust to a variety of alternative specifications. We also perform a ‘placebo’ analysis which shows that the high school outcomes of natives are affected only by the immigrant concentration in their own 5th grade class.
