@techreport{Chiswick2008Citizenship, abstract = {This study
develops and estimates a model of the naturalization process in
the US. The model is based on both the characteristics of
immigrants and features of their countries of origin. The
empirical analysis is based on the 2000 US Census. Both the
characteristics of immigrants and the origin-country variables
are shown to be important determinants of citizenship status.
The individual characteristics that have the most influence are
educational attainment, age at migration, years since migration,
veteran of the US armed forces, living with family, and spouses'
educational attainment. The country of origin variables of most
importance are their degree of civil liberties and political
rights, GDP per capita, whether the origin country recognizes
dual citizenship, and the geographic distance of the origin
country from the US.}, address = {Bonn}, author = {Barry R.
