The Economics of Citizenship

Abstract:
Immigrants ascend to citizenship at differential rates in the European and North American context. Why is this so? This paper investigates the economic costs and benefits derived from citizenship to rationalize these differential rates of citizenship ascension. In the North American context strong evidence appears to confirm the sizable economic benefits of citizenship. A decomposition analysis attributes this benefit to self-selection, namely only the more productive immigrants become citizens.
