Abstract
This paper is concerned with why immigrants appear to have consistently lower partial effects of schooling on earnings than the native born, both across destinations and in different time periods within countries. It uses the Over - Required - Under education approach to occupations, a new decomposition technique developed especially for this approach and data from the 2000 Census of the United States.
