This paper provides new evidence that religious organizations with high co-ethnicity can be a space utilized by immigrant entrepreneurs for ethnic resources, especially for those with limited familial resources. Although a number of qualitative studies have previously identified the resource attainment through ethnic churches among immigrant entrepreneurs, such evidence is limited in quantitative analysis and the role of coethnicity is unclear. With the data from the New Immigrant Survey, this study shows that regardless of ethnic backgrounds and religious congregations, immigrant entrepreneurs with limited familial resources have a higher level of church involvement, and higher co-ethnicity in churches also increases the church involvement of immigrant entrepreneurs. These findings suggest that immigrant entrepreneurs may actively seek resources in ethnic churches. From a policy perspective, religious organizations that target immigrants in ethnic communities can potentially benefit immigrant entrepreneurs by providing co-ethnic resources and help them overcome initial barriers during economic assimilation.

民族教会作为移民企业家重要的民族资源空间

这篇论文提供了新的证据，证明具有高度同族性的宗教组织可以成为移民企业家利用种族资源的空间，特别是对于那些家庭资源有限的人。尽管之前有一些定性研究已经确定了移民企业家通过民族教会获得的资源，但这些证据在定量分析中是有限的，并且同族性的作用尚不清楚。根据新移民调查的数据，本研究表明，无论种族背景和宗教团体如何，家庭资源有限的移民企业家的教会参与程度更高，而教会中较高的同族裔也增加了移民企业家的教会参与。 . 这些发现表明，移民企业家可能会积极地在民族教会中寻求资源。从政策的角度来看，针对族裔社区移民的宗教组织可以通过提供同族资源并帮助他们克服经济同化过程中的最初障碍而潜在地使移民企业家受益。
