“…Using a much larger administrative dataset, Friesen and Krauth (2011) investigate classroom spillover effects in the Canadian province of British Columbia defining immigrant peers as those who speak non-English languages at home since they have no true measure of immigration status. Numeracy and reading scores of students in the fourth and seventh grade are investigated and endogenous selection of immigrants across schools is addressed by including school fixed effects.…”

“…Following Hoxby (2000), several recent studies have addressed this challenge by using arguably idiosyncratic variation in student composition across cohorts within the same schools to identify the effects of classmate characteristics. These studies have found that variation in the race, gender, ability, exposure to family violence, and home language of classmates can have short term effects on individual test scores (Angist and Lang 2004; Carell and Hoekstra 2010; Friesen and Krauth 2011; Hanushek, Kain, and Rivkin 2002; Hoxby 2000; Lavy, Paserman, and Schlosser 2008; Lavy and Schlosser 2007). This approach, however, requires data on multiple cohorts of students from the same schools, and data sources that have sufficient information on school context for multiple cohorts of students usually do not track students longitudinally following the completion of high school.…”

Using data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health, this study examines the impact of high school cohort composition on the educational and labor market outcomes of individuals during their early 20s and again during their late 20s and early 30s. We find that the positive effects of having more high school classmates with a college educated mother on college attendance in the years immediately following high school decline as students reach their later 20s and early 30s, and are not followed by comparable effects on college completion and labor market outcomes. The results suggest that factors that increase college attendance are not always sufficient to improve college graduation rates and longer term outcomes.

*This paper provides new evidence on how the presence of immigrant peers in the classroom affects native student achievement. The analysis is based on longitudinal administrative data on two cohorts of vocational training students in Italy's largest region. Vocational training institutions provide the ideal setting for studying these effects because they attract not only disproportionately high shares of immigrants but also the lowest ability native students. We adopt a value added model, and exploit within-school variation both within and across cohorts for identification. Our results show small negative average effects on maths test scores that are larger for low ability native students, strongly non-linear and only observable in classes with a high (top 20%) immigrant concentration. These outcomes are driven by classes with a high average linguistic distance between immigrants and natives, with no apparent role played by ethnic diversity. JEL Classification:I20, J15
