The Self-Employment Experience of Immigrants
利用1970和1980年美国人口普查数据，分析发现移民自雇率高于本土出生男性，同化过程显著提升自雇率，且近期移民更倾向自雇，部分差异源于族群聚居效应。
Self-employment is an important aspect of the immigrant experience in the labor market. Self-employment rates for immigrants exceed 15 percent for some national groups. Using the 1970 and 1980 U.S. Censuses, the analysis shows that self-employment rates of immigrants exceed those of native-born men; that there is a strong, positive impact of assimilation on self-employment rates; that more recent waves of immigrants are opting with increasing frequency for the self-employment option; and that part of the immigrant/native-born differential in self-employment rates can be attributed to “enclave” effects.
