"The ethnosizer, a new measure of the intensity of a person's ethnic identity, is proposed using
information on language, culture, societal interaction, history of migration, and ethnic selfidentification. A two-dimensional version classifies immigrants into four states: integration,
assimilation, separation and marginalization. Results based on the German Socio-economic
Panel for 2001 are as follows. Young migrants are assimilated or integrated the most. While
Muslims and Christians do not integrate, both assimilate the best. Immigrants with college in
the home country separate less. Having some schooling is worse than no schooling for
integration and assimilation. While ex-Yugoslavs assimilate more, Greeks, Italians and
Spaniards are no different than Turks." [author's abstract]... view less
