...Jennifer Van Hook; James D. Bachmeier; Donna L. Coffman; Ofer Harel Abstract Researchers have developed logical, demographic, and statistical strategies for imputing immigrants’ legal status, but these methods have never been empirically assessed. We used Monte Carlo simulations to test whether...

We validate this technique by implementing it in a nationally representative...

... evidence based on U.S. Census data indicates a slowdown in the rate of earnings assimilation. We find that the pace of immigrant wage convergence based on recent data may be understated in the literature as a result of the method used by the census to impute missing information on earnings, which does...

A few authors have mentioned that the methods used to impute this information may have introduced biases in the estimates of premarital fertility (e.g., Eelens and Donne 1985, p.8; Hobcraft and McDonald 1984, p.7), but they did not comment on the direction or the magnitude of these biases...

However, this method will still lead...

Trends in Life Expectancy and Lifespan Variation by Educational Attainment: United States, 1990–2010
Demography (2016) 53 (2): 269–293.

To improve on prior estimates, I develop a unique imputation method to handle missing data in the vital registry, drawing on all available information from observed death records as well as the educational composition of the census (at-risk) population. In summary, I argue that social disparities...

However, some authors have shown that these imputation methods can lead to large bias in some applications (Van Hook et al. 2015 ). Recent studies have either treated all foreign...
