“…These interviews were conducted in 2009, and covered the assimilation patterns of 19 SM and 22 SX in the greater Paris region (Ile-de-France), Lyon, Nantes, and Bordeaux. 43 Although SM respondents were more likely to report a sense of being unwanted in France as compared to SX respondents, only one of the SM respondents considered religion as the reason for such discrimination. By contrast, race was highlighted by a majority of SM , as well as by a majority of SX, as the reason underlying discrimination in France.…”

“…This weakening of the significance is likely due to the fact that multiple imputation typically generates high standard errors when the number of observations is low (Equation (6) is estimated on 41 observations only). 43 The project employed two ethnographers to run these interviews: Etienne Smith (then a Ph.D. candidate in political science at Sciences-Po, who had conducted extensive field research in Senegal, and speaks Wolof, the lingua franca of Senegal, a language spoken by nearly all of our respondents) and Mahnaz Shirali (a Ph.D. in Sociology at the Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales who has published extensively on Muslim youth and gender in France and Iran).…”

Muslims in France: identifying a discriminatory equilibrium

2014

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

We analyze the assimilation patterns of Muslim immigrants in Western countries with a unique identification strategy. Survey and experimental data collected in France in 2009 suggest that Muslims and rooted French are locked in a sub-optimal equilibrium whereby (i) rooted French exhibit taste-based discrimination against those they are able to identify as Muslims and (ii) Muslims perceive French institutions as systematically discriminatory against them. This equilibrium is sustained because Muslims, perceiving discrimination as institutionalized, are reluctant to assimilate and rooted French, who are able to identify Muslims as such due to their lower assimilation, reveal their distaste for Muslims.

“…Lüdemann and Schwerdt (2013) find that a substantial part of the wage gap between second-generation immigrants and natives in Germany is explained by differences in school track attendance. Gorinas (2014) uses Danish data to investigate whether ethnic identity affects the employment position of first-and second-generation immigrants finding that this is not the case. Casey and Dustmann (2008) point to the importance of the intergenerational transmission of linguistic skill, even after taking into account a large number of socio-demographic factors, using longitudinal German data.…”

“…These questions have not been sufficiently examined, although identity has been paid considerable attention by social science researchers (e.g. Akerlof & Kranton, 2000;Gorinas, 2014;Manuela & Sibley, 2013). Furthermore, identity is thought to have a larger effect on the level of happiness if the current circumstance is more detached from one identity.…”

Identity, nostalgia and happiness among migrants: The case of the Kōshien High School Baseball Tournament in Japan

Public broadcasting of all games of high school baseball tournaments attests to their popularity in Japan. The present study uses individual-level data to test the hypothesis that nostalgia influences the level of happiness of Japanese people. Its key findings were: (i) the number of wins by a prefecture team increased the happiness level of its residents; (ii) this effect applied only to residents of large cities; and (iii) for urban migrants, originally from rural areas, the effect of their home team wins exceeded that of the wins of their host area team. This effect was significant in cases where the host area cultural climate differed from that of the migrant home area. These findings suggest that a scarcity of 'identity' goods related to the residential community increases high school baseball influence on happiness. Furthermore, the influence of nostalgia for home on migrants' happiness is greater than their attachment to their current residential community.Pac Econ Rev. bs_bs_banner bs_bs_banne r YAMAMURA bs_bs_banne r 794 bs_bs_banner YAMAMURA 5 bs_bs_banne r YAMAMURA bs_bs_banne r
