Abstract
<b>Abstract</b><p>This study explores the effects of foreign education on earnings. Previously, most research used indirect estimated information about foreign education, and documented the lower earnings of immigrants who had foreign education in comparison to those who had domestic education. Using direct information obtained from respondents of a recent survey, this research goes beyond the existing studies by suggesting three factors in earning discounts: (1) whether the highest level of education was received overseas, (2) the country where foreign education was received, and (3) name recognition of the foreign university. In addition, our study points out that social networks can reduce the foreign education discount, especially in nonprofessional occupations.<p><b>Résumé</b><p>Cette recherche explore les effets de l’éducation acquise à l’étranger sur le niveau des gains. Auparavant, la majorité des enquêtes se basaient sur une estimation indirecte des données sur l’éducation acquise à l’étranger et documentaient les gains moins élevés des immigrants qui avaient reçu leur éducation à l’étranger en comparaison à ceux qui avaient suivi leurs études au pays. En utilisant des données directes recueillies auprès des répondants d’un récent sondage, cette étude va plus loin que les études actuelles en suggérant trois facteurs dans la réduction des gains : 1) est-ce que le plus haut niveau de scolarité a été acquis à l’étranger, 2) dans quel pays l’éducation a-t-elle été reçue, et 3) quel est le niveau de réputation de l’université étrangère. De plus, notre étude indique que les réseaux sociaux peuvent diminuer la réduction des gains causée par l’éducation acquise à l’étranger, particulièrement dans les professions non-diplômées.
