Enduring Advantages: Asian Indian and Chinese Immigrant Wealth

Lisa A Keister and E Paige Borelli

Since the 1965 immigration reforms that abolished discriminatory immigration quotas, a tremendous influx of immigrants from Latin America, Africa, and Asia to the U.S. has occurred. Accompanying this diversity in immigrant country of origin are new patterns of socioeconomic stratification. Chinese and Asian Indians are two rapidly growing immigrant groups in the U.S., and these groups are notable for attaining significant upward mobility. Scholars often neglect the significant heterogeneity within immigrant groups by focusing on broader stratification patterns between all immigrants, but data from the New Immigrant Survey shows differences in wealth attainment between Chinese and Indian immigrants as well as differences within each nationality. Results indicate that Indian immigrant households have higher wealth than Chinese households, and institutional access explains this difference. In addition, there are unique patterns of wealth attainment by immigrant group, although both Indian and Chinese immigrants with employment visas have significantly higher wealth than co-nationals with other visa status. The correlation between visa status and wealth is mediated by host country SES and financial institutional access for both immigrant groups.

It is not only the economic world, social or political world in which we are living; rather we live in a world which is mixture of these.

The Strengths and Weaknesses of Languedoc-Roussillon SMEs Export

Jalane A

The growing interest of various economies in increasing and promoting the participation of their SMEs in international trade requires a revival of research into the internationalization processes of companies, especially those of small and medium enterprises. The objective is to provide extensive year and overall theoretical overview of the processes of internationalization of SMEs in Languedoc-Roussillon and, by extension, of those of French companies. From an empirical standpoint, we will verify the factoring that determines the internationalization process followed by these SMEs, according to their organizational structure and intangible considerations, in order to highlight their similarities and differences to from the various theoretical approaches. We will also determine whether firms with a low rate of international export may improve their performance solely through the development and management of some factoring in the Born Globals (internal variables). The export rate associated with international activity makes sense for thesis organisms. In fact, it has become a necessary strategic option in order to offset the drop in demand in exporting countries. In addition, a major challenge is exporting given the stiff competition in international markets from competitors with huge resources and very different export behavior.

Lisa A Keister

Financial asset ownership is important for a large number of scholarly and practical reasons including for understanding saving propensities, risk taking, personal financial strategies, inequality, the flow of funds across national borders, and organizational marketing strategies. Yet we know little about group differences in approaches to owning various financial instruments. Chinese and Indian immigrants to the United States are large, growing, and diverse groups who are rapidly beginning to comprise a large portion of the U.S. population and whose unique financial asset ownership patterns offer insight into the factors that contribute to cross-group differences in this important behavior. The article studies how members of these two important groups own particular assets. Use data from the U.S. Census Bureau’s Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP) and find that, Chinese and Indian immigrants do, indeed, exhibit unique asset ownership patterns when they are compared to native whites, African Americans, and other immigrants. Their ownership of stocks and mutual funds, interest-earning bank accounts, retirement accounts and whole life insurance. My findings demonstrate that age, tenure in the United States, education, and family traits are important meditating in the relationship between country of birth and financial asset ownership.
