More opportunity, more cooperation : the behavioral effects of birthright citizenship on immigrant youth

Felfe, Christina; Kocher, Martin; Rainer, Helmut; … - 2018

Inequality of opportunity, particularly when overlaid with racial, ethnic, or cultural differences, increases the social distance between individuals, which is widely believed to limit the scope of cooperation. A central question, then, is how to bridge such divides. We study the effects of a...

Should immigrants culturally assimilate or preserve their own culture? : individual beliefs and the longevity of national identity

Grajzl, Peter; Eastwood, Jonathan; Dimitrova-Grajzl, … - 2017
