摘要
本文评论了《金街》:美国不为人知的移民成功故事》(America's Untold Story of Immigrant Success),作者兰-阿布拉米茨基(Ran Abramitzky)和莉娅-布斯坦(Leah Boustan)。这本书文笔优美,是任何对移民话题感兴趣的人的必读书,它带领读者回顾了美国的移民史,研究了从十九世纪中叶到今天的移民同化模式。该书挑战了有关美国移民的两个神话。首先,该书表明,历史上的欧洲移民并不总是一贫如洗,也不总是能迅速攀上经济和社会的阶梯。其次,该书记录了当今移民同化的速度与二十世纪之交的移民同化速度相似。(JEL J15, J18, K37, N31, N32, Z13)
