摘要：Using a new data on 590 Turkish households in Berlin, we investigate the
determinants and impact of integration on economic performance. We find that
usual suspects such as time spent in Germany and education have positive impact,
while networks have no impact on integration. There is strong evidence that
political integration and the degree of full integration promote income. Using
endogenous switching regression models, we show that local familial networks
increase the income of unintegrated migrant groups only, while transnational
networks decrease it. We also find that education is more welfare improving for
integrated than non-integrated immigrants.
