There is now a large empirical literature, but very little theoretical work on this topic. We introduce a model of family immigration in a framework where school quality and student outcomes are determined endogenously. This allows us to explain the selection of immigrants in terms of parental motivation and the policies which favor a positive selection. Also, we can study the effect of immigration on the school system and how school quality may self-reinforce immigrants’ and natives’ choices.application/pdftext/plainengAtribución-NoComercial-SinDerivadas 3.0 EspañaEducationImmigrationSchool resourcesParental involvementImmigrant sortingworking paperI20I21I28J24J61Economíaopen accessDT/0000000857we1203
