摘要：Immigrants are much less likely to own their homes than natives, even after
controlling for a broad range of life-cycle and socio-economic characteristics
and housing market conditions. This paper extends the analysis of immigrant
housing tenure choice by explicitly accounting for ethnic identity as a
potential influence on the homeownership decision, using a two-dimensional model
of ethnic identity that incorporates attachments to both origin and host
cultures. The evidence suggests that immigrants with a stronger commitment to
the host country are more likely to achieve homeownership for a given set of
socioeconomic and demographic characteristics, regardless of their level of
attachment to their home country.
