This article examines how exposure to immigrant students affects the achievement of native students in Australia, Canada and the United States. Variation in the share of immigrant students across different grade levels within schools is exploited to identify the impact of immigrant peers. The study finds that the effects on native students’ achievements of exposure to immigrant peers differ between the three countries. While exposure has a positive impact on Australian natives, it has a negative impact on Canadian natives. Exposure has no effect on US natives. How immigrant students affect their peers is found to depend on institutional arrangements within the education system.

移民同辈对本地学生成绩的影响：来自澳大利亚，加拿大和美国的证据

本文研究了移民学生的接触如何影响澳大利亚，加拿大和美国的土著学生的成绩。利用学校中不同年级的移民学生所占份额的变化来确定移民同龄人的影响。研究发现，这三个国家对本地学生接触移民同伴的成就的影响是不同的。虽然接触对澳大利亚人有正面影响，但对加拿大人有负面影响。暴露对美国原住民没有影响。发现移民学生如何影响他们的同龄人取决于教育体系内的制度安排。
