摘要

散居者在解释新移民的区位选择中起着至关重要的作用。我们调查了散居国外的外部性的空间维度，重点关注意大利当地劳动力市场地区（LLMA）的移民。我们表明，散居者的净拉动效应在估计的平均距离82 km。我们发现在更大的地理距离上存在负空间溢出的证据，表明来自邻近散居地的竞争效应。特定种族的劳动力市场和种族消费外部性是散居者产生距离衰减效应的重要渠道。我们还发现，散居者的空间效应在性别和原籍国之间具有高度异质性。

Distance from diasporas and immigrants’ location choice: evidence from Italy

ABSTRACT Diasporas play a fundamental role in explaining the location choice of new immigrants. We investigate the spatial dimension of diaspora externalities focusing on immigrants in Italian local labour market areas (LLMAs). We show that the net pull effect of diasporas spills over an estimated average distance of 82 km. We find evidence of negative spatial spillovers at greater geographical distances, suggesting a competition effect from neighbouring diasporas. Ethnic-specific labour markets and ethnic consumption externalities are important channels through which the distance–decay effects of diasporas take place. We also find that the spatial effects of diasporas are highly heterogeneous across gender and origin countries.

期刊介绍： Spatial Economic Analysis is a pioneering economics journal dedicated to the development of theory and methods in spatial economics, published by two of the world"s leading learned societies in the analysis of spatial economics, the Regional Studies Association and the British and Irish Section of the Regional Science Association International. A spatial perspective has become increasingly relevant to our understanding of economic phenomena, both on the global scale and at the scale of cities and regions. The growth in international trade, the opening up of emerging markets, the restructuring of the world economy along regional lines, and overall strategic and political significance of globalization, have re-emphasised the importance of geographical analysis.
