1.	Establishing Immigrant Legacies: A Study of Immigrant Homeownership in the United States Ph.D. Dissertation, Department of Sociology, Pennsylvania State University, 2013. Also: https://etda.libraries.psu.edu/catalog/19659 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Penn State University Press Keyword(s): Home Ownership; Immigrants; Mobility, Social Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This dissertation focuses on the intersection of homeownership and immigrant assimilation. Homeownership is emphasized because of its importance in establishing positive legacies crucial to social mobility of subsequent generations. The dissertation addresses three questions related to immigrant homeownership. First, how are immigrants and subsequent generations faring in the transition to first-time homeownership? Second, how does immigrant homeowner attainment differ in non-traditional settlement areas commonly described as “new destinations?” Lastly, how does immigrant homeownership influence immigrant children’s educational attainment? The dissertation consists of three substantive studies. The first is a longitudinal analysis of the transition to first-time homeownership among a cohort of youths followed from 1979 to 2009 using the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY, 1979). In particular, it examines ethno-generational group differences in first-time homeownership over an observation period that spans thirty years while testing theories of straight-line and segmented assimilation.

2.	Segmented Paths? Generational Differences in the Transition to Homeownership Presented: San Francisco CA, Population Association of America Meetings, May 2012 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Population Association of America Keyword(s): Ethnic Differences; Hispanics; Home Ownership; Immigrants; Modeling, Hazard/Event History/Survival/Duration; Racial Differences; Wealth Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Homeownership represents an important indicator of immigrant incorporation and acculturation. It reflects an immigrant’s commitment to remain in the host country and serves as a vehicle of wealth accumulation. This paper uses data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (1979) to test theories of immigrant assimilation (straight-line vs. segmented) by focusing on generational patterns to first-time homeownership using a discrete time hazard model. I find an increase in the likelihood of first-time homeownership between Hispanic first and second generation. However, by the third generation I find Hispanics are experiencing significantly lower likelihoods of becoming a first-time homeowner in comparison to native-born whites. I did not find support for straight-line assimilation theory in terms of the transition homeownership but rather I found that black and Hispanic immigrants are experiencing segmented paths towards ownership and achieving the “American Dream.”

Also: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s12134-018-0560-6 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Springer Keyword(s): Ethnic Differences; Hispanics; Home Ownership; Immigrants; Intergenerational Patterns/Transmission Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Homeownership represents an important indicator of immigrant incorporation and assimilation. This study is a longitudinal analysis of the transition to first-time homeownership among a cohort of youths followed from 1979 to 2009 using the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY, 1979). In particular, I examine Mexican generational group differences in the transition to first-time homeownership over an observation period that spans 30 years while evaluating theories of straight-line and segmented assimilation. I find that Mexican homeownership rates do not increase in a linear fashion across generations, relative to native, non-Hispanic whites, even after controlling for various social, demographic, and economic characteristics. Furthermore, analyses limited to Mexicans reveal that first- and second-generation respondents exhibit more success in the transition to first-time homeownership than their third-generation counterparts. Contrary to observing linear gains in homeownership across generations, I find that Mexicans are experiencing segmented paths towards homeownership and achieving upward mobility across generations.
