This study examines the determinants of location choices of Asian
immigrants in the US in 1990 and evaluates the effect of education and
other quality of life variables as well as the traditional economic variables.
The study builds upon similar works by Gallaway, Vedder and Shukla
(1974) and Dunlevy and Gemery (1977) on the distribution of immigrant
population in the 1900's. The findings show that the number of Asians in an
area has significant positive effects on immigrant residence. This study
also reveals a negative relation between unemployment levels and the
number of immigrants locating to an area. The results provide support for
a lagged adjustment process in affecting locational choice. However,
there appears to be no significant relation between education spending
and immigrant location to an area. / Graduation date: 1997
