Refugee secondary migration from small cities: Evidence from Utica, New York
Refugees in the US have increasingly been resettled in small cities, many of which have viewed refugee resettlement as a means of economic development. Using a unique geo-coded data set of almost 600 refugees from over 30 countries resettled in Utica, New York, our study offers primary evidence on the determinants of refugee intentions to migrate from their resettlement community. We find that human capital, co-ethnic enclaves, length of time in …
Financial inclusion of individuals who arrived as refugees to the United States
We study determinants of financial inclusion for individuals with a refugee background (refugees) from over 30 countries residing in Utica, New York. We find that greater financial inclusion is associated with refugees who are male, more educated, employed, richer, older at time of migration, have better language skills, and have lived in the country longer. Financial inclusion also increases with the degree to which refugees trust financial inst…
Religion and Refugee Well-Being: The Importance of Inclusive Community
We use a large sample of refugees in Utica, New York to investigate how religiosity and the ability to practice religion are related to happiness in one's community. We analyze religious and secular facets of the community in which they live, such as perceived ability to practice their religion, sense of safety, and experiences of discrimination. Contrary to the literature on broader populations, we find that religiosity is unrelated to refugees'…
The Happiness of Refugees in the United States: Evidence from Utica, NY
We study determinants of happiness—a subjective measure of wellbeing—for roughly 600 refugees from over 30 different countries currently residing in Utica, NY. For refugees from the former Soviet Union, the former Yugoslavia and Southeast Asia, having many friends from one’s own ethnic group is strongly positively correlated with happiness in Utica, while, for African refugees, English-language skills are a strong determinant of happiness with li…
A‐not‐A Questions
An A‐not‐A question is a type of question with a function similar to that of a yes/no question, the surface form of which involves two copies of a predicate with one copy negated. Such questions superficially resemble alternative questions but have distinct syntactic properties. A‐not‐A questions have primarily been studied in Mandarin Chinese and related languages. Morphosyntactically, A‐not‐A questions behave as if formed by a combined negative…
Restrictions on definiteness in second language acquisition: Affirmative and negative existentials in the L2 English of Turkish and Russian speakers
In this paper we investigate whether learners of L2 English show knowledge of the Definiteness Effect ( Milsark, 1977 ), which restricts definite expressions from appearing in the existential there-insertion construction. There are crosslinguistic differences in how restrictions on definiteness play out. In English, definite expressions may not occur in either affirmative or negative existentials (e.g. There is a/*the mouse in my soup ; There isn…
Deriving output probabilities in child Mandarin from a Dual-Optimization grammar
A Particle of Indefiniteness in American Sign Language
We describe here the characteristics of a very frequently-occurring ASL indefinite focus particle, which has not previously been recognized as such. We show that, despite its similarity to the question sign “WHAT”, the particle is distinct from that sign in terms of articulation, function, and distribution. The particle serves to express “uncertainty ” in various ways, which can be formalized semantically in terms of a domain-widening effect of t…

Credit card debts of the poor: High and rising
In this article we report on a little-known aspect of the consumer credit explosion: It has also happened among the poor. Focusing on credit cards, we use data from four releases of the Survey of Consumer Finances (SCF), 1983–1995, to trace the evolution of the debt position of the poor as compared to that of the population at large. The data indicate that from 1983 to 1995 the fraction of poor households with a credit card more than doubled, and…
Wage Compensation for Dangerous Work Revisited
Using data from the 1982 Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID), the authors investigate the relationship between wages and the risk of work-related death or nonfatal injury. Including industry-level variables and using alternative risk measures dramatically affects measured wage compensation. The results cast doubt on the existence of compensating differentials for risk. Indeed, the strongest finding is the likely presence of negative compensatio…
