- This article analyzes the connection between exogamy and union dissolution using individual level register data for native Swedes and immigrants in Sweden. We study both married and cohabiting unions, from the birth of the first child until dissolution (N = 403,294). Event history models are employed to study the association between type of union and value dissimilarity between spouses on the one hand, and union dissolution, on the other, controlling for human capital and demographic characteristics. The results are in line with the exogamy hypothesis; that mixed unions face higher dissolution risks than endogamous unions. We also find support for the value dissimilarity hypothesis; that the disruptive effect of exogamy increases with the degree of value context dissimilarity between partners. Finally, the results corroborate the gender difference hypothesis; that the effects on union dissolution of exogamy and value context dissimilarity depend on the gender of the immigrant in exogamous unions.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The patterns of immigrant self-selection from their source countries and the characteristics of the host countries have been depicted as the main determinants of immigrants’ economic assimilation. The present study is designed to evaluate the combined impact of both factors on immigrants' economic assimilation. The situation to be studied could be characterized as a natural experiment: immigrants originated from one country and immigrated during the same period to three different destination countries. We study immigrants who left Iran right after the Islamic revolution, and arrived during 1979-1985 to the US, Israel, and Sweden. Such a situation allows us to compare three immigrant groups that probably differ in both observed and unobserved attributes, and three destination countries that differ in their migration policies and labor market characteristics. Consequently, the explanatory power of the impact of immigrants’ self-selection combined with the impact of country-specific characteristics on economic assimilation is high due to the experiment-like situation. To analyze Iranian immigrants who came to the three countries during 1979-85 at the age of 22 or higher upon arrival, the 5% 1990 and 2000 Public Use Microdata files (PUMS) of the US census, the 20% demographic samples of the 1983 and 1995 Israeli censuses of population, and the 1990 and 2000 Swedish registers were used. The results indicate that the “most qualified” immigrants – both on observed and unobserved variables - who left Iran right after the Islamic revolution, arrived in the US. Their positive self-selection led them to reach complete earnings assimilation with natives there. Iranian immigrants who arrived in Israel and Sweden did not achieve full earnings assimilation with natives. Of these two groups, Iranian immigrants in Sweden showed better assimilation than their counterparts in Israel. The market structure played a certain role in immigrants’ earnings assimilation in Sweden only.

- The study is designed to evaluate the impact of the interaction between patterns of immigrants' self-selection and the context of reception at destinations on economic assimilation of Iranian immigrants who came to three countries during 1979–1985. For that purpose, we studied immigrants at the age of 22 or higher upon arrival by utilizing the 5 percent 1990 and 2000 Public Use Microdata files (PUMS) of the United States census, the 20 percent demographic samples of the 1983 and 1995 Israeli censuses of population, and the 1990 and 2000 Swedish registers. The results indicate that the “most qualified” immigrants – both on observed and unobserved variables – who left Iran right after the Islamic revolution, arrived in the US Their positive self-selection led them to reach complete earnings assimilation with natives there. Iranian immigrants who arrived in Israel and Sweden did not achieve full earnings assimilation with natives. Of these two groups, a smaller immigrant-to-native gap in average earnings was found in Sweden, but in the same time Iranian immigrants in Israel were more positively self-selected and showed better assimilation than their counterparts in Sweden. Market structure played a certain role in immigrants' earnings assimilation mainly in Sweden.
