Palloni, Alberto, and Elizabeth Arias Working paper no. 2003-01 Abstract We test three competing explanations of the adult “Hispanic mortality paradox:” data artifact, migration, and cultural or social buffering effects. Based on a series of parametric hazard models estimated on 9 years of mortality follow-up data, our results suggest that the “Hispanic” mortality advantage is …

Wilson, Franklin, Uzi Rebhun, and Salvador Rivas Working paper no. 2008-02 Abstract This study assesses the effect of population change on decade changes in the educational attainment level of ethnic (ancestry) populations in the United States.

Migration systems theory …

Curtis, Katherine, and Jack DeWaard Working paper no. 2011-03 Abstract This research examines how black return migration shaped racial inequality in local-area poverty in the U.S. South. Using census data for 1970 and 2000, we build from inequality and migration theory to investigate the consequences of migration on black-white differences in southern county poverty rates …

In this paper, we propose a third alternative. Using harmonized data on age-specific migration flows from and to countries in the European Union (EU) and European Free …
