Immigrants Assimilate as Communities, Not Just as Individuals
By Timothy J. Hatton, Andrew Leigh
Institute for the Study of Labor, Discussion Paper 2538, January 2007
http://ftp.iza.org/dp2538.pdf
Abstract: There is a large econometric literature that examines the economic assimilation of
immigrants in the United States and elsewhere. On the whole immigrants are seen as atomistic
individuals assimilating in a largely anonymous labour market, a view that runs counter to the
spirit of the equally large literature on ethnic groups. Here we argue that immigrants assimilate
as communities, not just as individuals. The longer the immigrant community has been established
the better adjusted it is to the host society and the more the host society comes to accept that
ethnic group. Thus economic outcomes for immigrants should depend not just on their own
characteristics, but also on the legacy of past immigration from the same country. In this paper
we test this hypothesis using data from a 5 percent sample of the 1980, 1990 and 2000 US
censuses. We find that history matters in immigrant assimilation: the stronger is the tradition
of immigration from a given source country, the better t! he economic outcomes
for new immigrants from that source.
