title: On the settlement patterns of recent Caribbean and Latin immigrants to the United States.
abstract: "In this paper the settlement patterns of persons from each of eleven different Latin and Caribbean nations who received immigrant status [in the United States] in 1987 are considered.  Regression analysis suggests that social and economic forces were important, but that specific factors influenced different nationalities differently.  Evidence is also found for a lagged adjustment in the settlement process.  Furthermore, the attractive effect of a previously settled migrant stock is estimated to be strong for every nationality."
