本文使用1998年至2004年间在缅因州波特兰重新安置的成年难民的独特数据集，研究了共同种族社会资本对难民收入的作用。多元回归模型检验了获得同族社会资本对难民在工作的第一年和最近几年的原木收入的影响。结果表明，随着时间的推移，抵达后获得同族社会资本的机会减少了女性难民的收入。文章最后讨论了研究结果对社会资本和移民研究的启示。
This paper examines the role of co-ethnic social capital on the earnings of refugees, using a unique data set for adult refugees who resettled in Portland, Maine, between 1998 and 2004. Multiple regression models test the effect of access to co-ethnic social capital on the log earnings of refugees in their first and most recent years of work. Results show that over time access to co-ethnic social capital upon arrival decreased earnings for female refugees. The paper concludes with a discussion of the implications of the findings for social capital and immigration research.
