We use matched birth records and longitudinal student records in Florida to investigate whether first-, second-, and third-generation Asian and Hispanic immigrants have different educational success (measured by test scores, disciplinary problems, truancy, high school graduation, and college readiness). We find that, for both Asian and Hispanic students, early-arriving first generation immigrants perform better than do second-generation immigrants, who perform better than third-generation immigrants. The earlier the arrival, the better the students tend to perform. There is therefore a general pattern of successively reduced achievement in the generations following the generation that immigrated to the United States.

第二波移民大潮中教育成果的跨代差异

我们使用在佛罗里达州匹配的出生记录和纵向学生记录来调查第一代，第二代和第三代亚洲和西班牙裔移民在教育上是否成功（通过考试成绩，纪律问题，逃学，高中毕业和大学准备程度来衡量） ）。我们发现，对于亚洲和西班牙裔学生来说，早到的第一代移民的表现要好于第二代移民，后者的表现要优于第三代移民。到达的时间越早，学生的表现就越好。因此，在移民到美国的世代中，世代的成就通常会逐渐减少。
