ABSTRACT
Entrepreneurship has served as a route of economic advancement and social mobility for many of the more successful immigrant groups. In addition to ethnic and class resources, the formation of small businesses by new immigrants depends as much on characteristics of the host country as on the specific urban area. Furthermore, the interaction of location and ethnicity also influences entrepreneurial behavior of immigrant groups; that is, the role of location may differ for each immigrant group. This issue has only received cursory treatment in previous studies.
