20世纪90年代，哥伦比亚、多米尼加共和国、厄瓜多尔、哥斯达黎加和巴西通过了双重国籍法，允许其侨民在不丧失原籍的情况下，有权在接受国入籍。我估计了这些新法律对美国入籍比率和劳动力市场结果的影响。根据1990年和2000年美国人口普查的数据，In发现，相对于来自其他拉美国家的移民，最近获得双重国籍权的移民更有可能入籍。他们还经历了相对的就业和收入增长，以及福利使用的下降，这表明双重国籍权利不仅增加了入籍倾向，还可能促进经济同化。双重国籍对改善经济表现的影响，如果通过入籍来调节，与美国公民身份赋予更多经济机会是一致的。
In the 1990s, Colombia, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Costa Rica, and Brazil passed dual citizenship laws granting their expatriates the right to naturalize in the receiving country without losing their nationality of origin. I estimate the effects of these new laws on naturalization rates and labor market outcomes in the United States. Based on data from the 1990 and 2000 U.S. censuses, In find that immigrants recently granted dual nationality rights are more likely to naturalize relative to immigrants from other Latin American countries. They also experience relative employment and earnings gains, together with drops in welfare use, suggesting that dual citizenship rights not only increase the propensity to naturalize but may also promote economic assimilation. The effects of dual citizenship on improved economic performance, if mediated through naturalization, are consistent with American citizenship conferring greater economic opportunities.
