本文发展了资本形式的概念，作为移民公司模式的基础。该模型阐述了移民家庭的社会、金融和人力文化资本预测移民进入各种劳动力市场轨迹的方式。例如，金融和人力文化资本存量较低的移民最有可能在族裔经济中找到就业，而人力文化资本在东道国社会中具有可替代性的移民往往在更广泛的主流经济中找到就业。事件的历史分析，以证明移民中常见的四种模式的工作流动模型：创业，专业管理技术工作，在公共部门就业，半或低技能的工厂工作和低薪的服务工作。研究结果表明，资本移民的混合抵达，并随后积累，形状的轨迹，他们融入东道国社会。这项研究是基于对大洛杉矶地区亚洲移民的实地研究。
This article develops the concept of forms of capital as the basis of a model of immigrant incorporation. The model sets out the manner in which the social, financial, and human-cultural capital of immigrant families predict the sorting of immigrants into various labour market trajectories. For example, immigrants arriving with low stocks of financial and human-cultural capital are most likely to find employment in the ethnic economy, whereas immigrants with human-cultural capital that is fungible in the host society tend to gain employment in the broader mainstream economy. Event history analysis is employed to demonstrate the model on four patterns of job mobility common among immigrants: entrepreneurship, professional-managerial-technical jobs, employment in the public sector, and semi- or low-skilled factory work and low-paid service jobs. The findings show that the mix of capital immigrants arrive with, and subsequently accumulate, shapes the trajectory of their incorporation into the host society. The research is based on a field study of Asian immigrants in the greater Los Angeles area.
