“少数民族经济”和“少数民族飞地经济”指的是与一般经济共存的移民或少数民族商业和就业部门。用户通常将这些术语视为同义词。事实上，他们不是。民族飞地经济的概念来源于劳动分割文献，而民族经济的概念来源于中间人少数民族文献。这两个概念的衍生已经形成了这两个概念所解决的问题。种族飞地相对于整体经济的相对工资的激烈辩论就是一个很好的例子。当概念化的种族经济方面，这场辩论的突出性大大减少。我们认为，族裔飞地经济的概念是有用的，但我们认为，它不如族裔经济的旧概念那么普遍。事实上，我们表明，民族飞地经济确实是一个特殊的情况下，民族经济。这一结论的证据部分来自我们对洛杉矶的伊朗移民的调查，调查结果符合旧的种族经济概念，但不能挤进种族飞地经济的概念。
The terms ''ethnic economy'' and ''ethnic enclave economy'' designate an immigrant or minority business and employment sector that coexists with the general economy. Users often treat these terms as synonymous. In fact, they are not. The concept of ethnic enclave economy derives from the labor segmentation literature, whereas the concept of ethnic economy derives from the middleman minorities literature. The derivations have shaped the problems that both concepts address. The strenuous debate about relative wages in the ethnic enclave versus the general economy is a case in point. When conceptualized in terms of an ethnic economy, the salience of this debate greatly diminishes. Agreeing that the concept of ethnic enclave economy is useful, we nonetheless claim that it is less general than the older concept of the ethnic economy. Indeed, we show that the ethnic enclave economy is really a special case of the ethnic economy. Evidence for this conclusion derives, in part, from our survey of Iranian immigrants in Los Angeles, the results of which fit the older ethnic economy concept but cannot be squeezed into the concept of an ethnic enclave economy.
