      And one last note: Yeah, I know the variable I coded as "Country" includes some birthplaces that are continents or other types of regions too. Sue me.

      Anyway, this promises to be a busy week, but later on I hope to come back to this to improve what I did. Happy to walk people through getting the data out of IPUMS or send it to them (tho I'm not on that computer right now).

      These kinds of studies have been done before. I did one with @jfuerst0, and Borjas also did it in his recent book. Yes, origin still matters because origin = prior, and education etc. is not perfectly informative about relevant job skills.

      Ah, gotcha. So something he briefly mentioned but didn't show a huge set of results for.

      Results of the PIAAC show that immigrant status is very relevant.https://twitter.com/phl43/status/952673677904175104 …

      A lot of people have pointed out that, in the US, immigrants are more likely to have a university degree. Perhaps, but according to data from the OECD (https://nces.ed.gov/surveys/piaac ), college-educated immigrants have skills much closer to those of natives who just finished high school. pic.twitter.com/EQeKzkSt4X

      I don't think the data explorer on their website allows you to look at this, but I had a look at the codebook of the dataset and it's very rich, so I'm sure there is a variable for country of birth. I suspect one could learn a lot analyzing this dataset.

      (One thing I don't know, however, is whether the sample is large enough to reliably determine whether country of origin matters once you control for the usual suspects.)

      Yeah, the 2016 ACS has more than 200,000 immigrants 18-54 and even then a lot of the countries have really small sample sizes.

      Yeah, I suspect that sample size will be an issue with the PIAAC data, which is a pity because the dataset seems very rich from my skimming the codebook.

      Basic PIAAC results look like this. x = employ%point gap, y = skill gap. Not familiar with any detailed study of this, but would like to collaborate on one (From Sanandaji's Massutmaning)pic.twitter.com/tCSea8qs6B

          The gaps are between immigrants and natives in each country, right?

          He told me by email he was going to publish it in English, but would like to find a university press to do so. This reminds me I need to reply to him... I might be interested in collaborating on a study that uses the PIAAC data, but I don't know when I'll have time.
