Abstract:
We examine how language acquisition affects immigrant earnings growth for Soviet immigrants to Israel. Using retrospective information on linguistic proficiency to control for time-invariant heterogeneity in ability reveals that language complements high-skill occupations. Improved Hebrew accounts for 2/3 to 3/4 of the differential in earnings growth between immigrant and native programmers and technicians. In contrast, immigrant construction workers and gas station attendants have no wage convergence with natives, with language acquisition having no discernible effect. This suggests that their positive returns to Hebrew in cross-sections may reflect ability bias. These findings invite reinterpretation of previous studies on returns to language.
