Immigrants’ Identity, Economic Outcomes and the Transmission of Identity across Generations
利用独特的纵向数据，研究了移民对原籍国和东道国的身份认同如何形成，及其与自身和子女劳动力市场结果的关系，发现身份认同与劳动结果关联弱，但代际传递强。
In this paper we address three issues relating to immigrants’ identity, measured as the feeling of belonging to particular ethnic groups. We study the formation of identity with home and host countries. We investigate how identity with either country relates to immigrants’ and their children’s labour market outcomes. Finally, we analyse the intergenerational transmission of identity. Our analysis is based on a unique longitudinal dataset on immigrants and their children. We find that identity with either country is only weakly related to labour market outcomes. However, there is strong intergenerational \ntransmission of identity from one generation to the next.
