title: The social assimilation of immigrants.
abstract: "This paper provides an empirical analysis of the determinants of migrants' [social] integration, using data for Germany. Ordered probit models are estimated, where the dependent variable is an ordered response on the feeling of national identity. The results show that personal characteristics, the nationality and the family context affect the migrant's integration, while labor market variables appear to be quite unimportant."
