我们开发了一个模型,在这个模型中,非白人个体是根据他们的社会环境(家庭、朋友和邻居)以及他们对自己文化起源的依恋(宗教或语言)来定义的,在这个模型中,工作主要是通过社交网络找到的。我们发现,这取决于如何强大的同侪压力,非白人选择采取“对立”的身份,因为一些人可能会认同占主导地位的文化和其他人可能会拒绝这种文化,即使它意味着不利的劳动力市场的结果。
We develop a model in which nonwhite individuals are defined with respect to their social environment (family, friends, and neighbors) and their attachments to their culture of origin (religion or language), and in which jobs are mainly found through social networks. We find that depending on how strong peer pressures are, nonwhites choose to adopt “oppositional” identities because some individuals may identify with the dominant culture and others may reject that culture, even if it implies adverse labor market outcomes.
