Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: This study investigates how the local-level variations in ethnic economies differently affect the earnings of immigrant workers of the six major Asian ethnic groups in the U.S.- Chinese, Asian Indians, Filipinos, Korean, Vietnamese, and Japanese-utilizing multi-level analyses. There has been serious debate on the extent to which ethnic economies can provide positive economic returns to immigrant workers for their human capital and other market-related characteristics. While assimilation theorists argue that the socioeconomic advantages to be derived from ethnic affiliations are not clear, pluralists contend that immigrant groups can take the advantage of ethnic solidarity to enhance their member’s economic advancement. The previous studies on ethnic economies have mostly paid attention to the place of immigrant concentration, but the often-neglected question was how the inter-metropolitan variations in the ethnic labor market conditions have an effect on the economic condition of immigrants. Thus, the methodological interest of this study is to investigate the local-level variations in the ethnic economies that systemically covariate with the individual-level determinants on the outcome variable utilizing a statistical multi-level model.
