空间同化模型和族群资源模型是对移民适应的两种主要理论解释,它们对移民的空间流动机制提出了不同的观点。我们使用1990年人口普查的5%公共使用微数据样本(Public Use Microdata Sample,简称CoS)来分析外国出生的中国人在三个大都市--纽约、洛杉矶和旧金山弗朗西斯科的迁移情况。我们在这项研究中测试了这两种解释,并认为我们的结果在很大程度上支持同化模型。此外,我们认为,民族飞地的宏观经济条件和民族经济的特点也是重要的影响移民的地理再分配。
The spatial assimilation and ethnic resources models, two major theoretical explanations of the adaptation of immigrants, provide different views on the mechanism of spatial mobility of immigrants. We used the 1990 census 5 percent Public Use Microdata Sample (PUMS) to analyze the migration of foreign-born Chinese in three large metropolises - New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. We tested the two explanations in this study and argue that our results largely support the assimilation model. In addition, we contend that macroeconomic conditions of ethnic enclaves and characteristics of ethnic economies are also important in affecting the geographic redistribution of immigrants.
