Collaborative Research: New Immigrants From Asia Family and Ethnic Bases of Economic Adaptation

该项目的总体目标是开发一种移民融合的新模式，并测试衍生的假设，以理解当代美国移民中家庭和种族基础行动的重要性。家庭的适应战略是该项目的一个特别重点，这与以前的研究不同，以前的研究更经常强调种族团结和劳动力市场。本研究将展示种族和家庭行动基础的相互交织如何影响中国、韩国和菲律宾移民在大洛杉矶地区的融合。这项研究是在美国国家科学基金会之前在洛杉矶资助的人种学实地研究之后进行的。这项研究将结束实地研究，并为一项更大的调查设计、翻译和预测问卷，以补充正在进行的实地研究。该模型的分析将采用事件历史、最小二乘法和多项逻辑估计技术。

The overall objective of this project is to develop a new model of immigrant incorporation and test derived hypotheses for understanding the importance of family and ethnic bases of action among contemporary U.S. immigrants. Adaptive strategies of the family are a special focus of the project, unlike previous research which has more often stressed ethnic solidarity and labor markets. This research will show how the intertwining of ethnic and family bases of action influences the incorporation of Chinese, Korean, and Filipino immigrants in the greater Los Angeles area. This research follows on a prior NSF-funded ethnographic field study in Los Angeles. This research will conclude the field study and develop, translate, and pretest a questionnaire for a larger survey designed to complement the ongoing field study. Analyses of the proposed model would be carried out with event history, least squares, and multinominal logistic estimation techniques.
