Abstract

This paper shows that the degree of ancestral individualism is positively related to annual earnings across second-generation US immigrants. This provides evidence in favor of Gorodnichenko and Roland's (2011b) hypothesis that the individualistic dimension of culture is important for long-term economic growth.
