Drawing from organizational, organizational ecology, and social network perspectives, we examined how earning differences between coethnic members (i.e., Chinese in Canada) and others (i.e., non-Chinese in Canada) were relatedto whether they participated in ethnic economy and also to the percentage of ethnic economies among related industrial sectors in a larger industry cluster. The study envisages ethnic economy is embedded in larger industry cluster and its operation is shaped by the larger industrial context. Drawing from the 2011 Canadian National Survey, we found thatthe percentage of ethnic economies among all related industrial sectors in an industry cluster was related to lower differences in the earnings of its coethnic members and others working there. The findings further showed that the relationship was significant for coethnic employees, but not for coethnic employers.

产业集群中族裔经济的代表性与族裔成员的收入差异——以加拿大华人为例

从组织、组织生态和社会网络的角度，我们研究了同族成员（即加拿大的华人）和其他人（即加拿大的非华人）之间的收入差异与他们是否参与种族经济以及与较大产业集群中相关产业部门中民族经济的百分比。该研究设想民族经济嵌入更大的产业集群中，其运作受到更大的产业环境的影响。从 2011 年加拿大全国调查中，我们发现一个产业集群中所有相关工业部门中种族经济的百分比与其同族成员和在那里工作的其他人的收入差异较小有关。
