Roads Taken
Forget any stereotype you might have of an old bearded Jewish peddler at the bottom of the socioeconomic pecking order. The itinerant peddlers described by Hasia Dinar in the fascinating, well-documented Roads Taken, are adventuresome young men eager to explore a new world far different from the one in which they grew up. They are like the little tailor in the fairy tales, out to seek their fortune by relying on their wits and pluck. This article…

Macroeconomic Determinants of Migration
Macroeconomic determinants of immigration are analysed with pooled cross‐country and time series data on net immigration to Germany from European countries during 1964‐1988. Results demonstrate clearly that both high and low frequency determinants have been important. Long run trends are determined by the degree and speed of per capita income convergence between the sending and receiving countries, while year‐to‐year changes in net immigration fl…

Religion as a determinant of marital stability
Using data from the 1987–1988 National Survey of Families and Households, this paper studies the role of the religious composition of unions as a determinant of marital stability. With the exceptions of Mormons and individuals with no religious identification, stability is found to be remarkably similar across the various types of homogamous unions. Consistent with the notion that religion is a complementary marital trait, interfaith unions have …

Are Immigrants and Natives Perfect Substitutes in Production
It is hypothesized that immigrant and native labor are less than perfect substitutes in production. Natives are relatively more intensive in country-specific knowledge and skills. Immigrants are relatively more intensive in the characteristics that influence self-selection for migration, including innate ability, ambition, entrepreneurship, and aggressiveness. The hypothesis is tested by comparing, for five major immigrant receiving countries, th…
