The most precious resource
This study offers a comprehensive examination of the time-use patterns of immigrants versus native-born populations in the U.S., drawing from the American Time-Use Survey (ATUS) spanning 2003–2019. We analyze differences in the concentration and diversity of time allocation, looking both at participation likelihood and at the time spent in a disaggregated set of activities. Our findings underscore pronounced differences between immigrants and nat…
Crossing Boundaries and Time
Time Allocation, Experiential Well‐Being, and Income
Do richer individuals allocate their time to activities that result in higher levels of happiness? Do people experience different levels of happiness for the same activities based on their income levels? This study offers a comprehensive examination of these questions, drawing from the American Time Use Survey (ATUS). Our findings reveal that income shapes individuals' allocation of time, but “money does not buy happier time.” We find evidence th…
Immigrants' demand for informal and formal education
This paper contributes to the migration literature studying the time devoted to educational activities. It uses US time-diary surveys to study the allocation of time to informal as well as formal learning and educational activities by immigrants and natives. We develop a simple theoretical framework, which highlights the different constraints/opportunity costs faced by immigrants as compared with natives. Consistently with our theoretical model, …
Heterogeneous Firms in International Markets and Gender Inequalities
Recent contributions in international economics have highlighted structural differences between firms actively participating in global markets and firms mostly operating in the domestic economy. Using firm-level data from Vietnam, this study found that foreign and domestic firms with global ties – exporters, multinational enterprises (MNEs), and domestic firms belonging to global value chains (GVCs) – play an important role in reducing gendered d…
The complex relationship between immigrants’ concentration, socioeconomic environment and attitudes towards immigrants in Europe
Research has shown that positive attitudes towards immigration are often associated with a higher presence of immigrants at the local level; however, this relationship might not apply everywhere. While a higher presence of immigrants might be positive for attitudes in areas with better socioeconomic resources - via the development of more cooperative intergroup contacts - it might bring no or even a negative effect on attitudes in poorer areas - …
Immigrant Naturalisation, Employment and Occupational Status in Western Europe
Does citizenship facilitate access to employment and higher status jobs? Existing studies have produced mixed results across mostly single case studies in Europe and North America. To investigate whether this heterogeneity depends on varying institutional and socio-economic conditions, in this paper we analyse the labour market outcomes of immigrants who have naturalised in 13 West European countries. Our empirical analysis draws on data from the…
