• Immigrant Self-Employment (2009, background): “Moreover, several authors suggest that immigrants who have worked longer in the country of origin before migrating tend to have worse socioeconomic outcomes (e.g., Bell, 1997; Duvander, 2001), so it would seem probable that these immigrants would also have a lower likelihood of self-employment.”
• Graduate employability: a conceptual framework for understanding employers’ perceptions (2012, background): “To understand the differences between foreign and domestic education better, a division between country specific and general human capital has been made (Chiswick and Miller 2003; Duvander 2001; Wiers-Jenssen 2008).”
• The Impact of Origin and Host Country Schooling on the Economic Performance of Immigrants (2009, background): “Furthermore, some studies (Duvander 2001; Li 2001) only include the level of education and a dummy variable indicating whether the highest level of education was (probably) obtained in the destination country.”
