abstract: 'Extensive research has documented per sis tent nativ ity inequal ity in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the U.S. labor mar ket, even among high-skilled immi grants. Yet, this
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
phe nom e non has not been sufficiently explained. This study
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
investigates whether different types of education- occu pa tion mis
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
match are a source of this inequal ity. Using lon gi tu di nal data from
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the Survey of Income and Program Participation, we examine nativity
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
differences in the incidence and wage penalty of education-occupation
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
mismatch among highly educated workers. The results demonstrate that
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
high-skilled immigrants, especially those with foreign degrees, are more
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
vulnerable to vertical and horizontal mismatch and suffer higher wage
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
penalties from mismatched employment than similarly educated native-born
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
workers. Auxiliary analyses show that the disadvantage foreign-educated
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
skilled immigrants experience is largely concentrated among immigrants
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
from countries with lower quality tertiary education, immigrants with
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
lower English proficiency, and those with degrees in non-STEM fields and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
fields with demanding licensing requirements. These results point to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
skilled immi grants'' limited human capital transferability, which stems
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
from the quality and applicability of educational credentials, language

|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
profi-ciency, and institutional barriers.'
