The educational attainment of immigrants: trends and implications

"This paper uses the 1970, 1980, and 1990 U.S. Censuses to study trends in educational attainment of immigrants relative to natives. Immigrants have become relatively less highly educated, but have become more highly educated in an absolute sense. The effects of changes in relative educational attainment between immigrants and natives on earnings are studied. Educational differences are found to explain more than half the observed wage gap between the two groups. The paper also allows for non-linearities in returns to education. Sheepskin effects influence earnings in different ways for natives and immigrants. Differences in returns to pre- and post-migration education also appear. The paper also finds evidence that immigrants crowd natives out of education, although the effects are stronger in secondary than in postsecondary education."

商业集群的发展历史及产业集群打造

随着全球一体化进程的加快和越来越激烈的全球竞争,创建具有竞争力的产业集群是许多政府和企业的共同心愿。但产业集群作为商业集群的最高历史阶段,其打造并不是一挥而蹴的事情。商业集群的形成和转型具有客观规律性,从低级到高级商业集群分为：地理集群、市场集群、网络集群、创新集群和产业集群。商业集群每个发展阶段具有不同的特点和不同的形成条件,从低级到高级的转化与升级具有内在驱动机制,必须掌握这种内在驱动机制并努力满足相应条件,才有可能使商业集群顺利地形成、转型或升级,否则,欲速则不达。

Evolution of the chronic care role of the registered nurse in primary care

High-quality, accessible, and efficient primary care is needed as the U.S. health care system undergoes significant change. Advancing the role of registered nurses in the primary care setting is important to the solution. A large academic health center implemented five initiatives to improve the care of chronically ill patients through the expanded role of RNs in the context of the health care team. Role evolution of nurses in the pilots required some continuing education and some additional nursing support to release the pilot nurses from their usual duties. These strategies allowed the nurses to apply interventions that enhanced the coordination of care and promoted patient self-management skills. Some short-term improvements in health status were realized and barriers to self-care were identified and resolved.
