The performance of immigrants in the United Kingdom: evidence from the GHS
Article Abstract:
An analysis of 20 censuses from UK's General Household Survey from 1973 to 1992 reveals that immigrants have a higher level of education than UK natives. The evaluation of their wage rates shows that blacks, primarily those from the Caribbean, were relatively disadvantage. This disadvantaged position, however, reduced over time because of the group's assimilation effects.

Article Abstract:
An analysis of data from UK's Family Expenditure Survey shows that the effects to consumer growth of a household's demographics, including the number of children, is purely transitory. A wife's educational level and employment status, on the other hand, seems to permanently affect the household's intertemporal elasticity of substitution.
