Models explaining exogamy

Exogamy is an indicator predicting whether immigrants and native-born have crossed the racial/ethnic boundaries in the host country. As integration, transnationalism and pan-ethnicity all explain immigrants' exogamy, this paper examines the model that provides higher explanatory power for Canada's 1.5 and second generation Asian, including Chinese, East Indian, Filipino and Japanese, immigrants' exogamy. The results indicate that although the effects of integration, transnationalism and pan-ethnicity all affect immigrants' marital choice, pan-ethnicity appears to provide a better explanation.
