Abstract: The immigration motivation hypothesis stresses the different inclinations of new immigrants to settle permanently in the host country. The group of reactive immigrants, who lack the real option to emigrate back to their country of origin, assign high priority to buying a home. In contrast, the proactive group of immigrants tends to postpone the purchase decision. We test this hypothesis based on the 2010 Israeli Central Bureau of Statistics absorption survey of new immigrants. The findings indicate a better assimilation effect among the proactive Former-Soviet Union (FSU) immigration compared with reactive Ethiopian immigration, and may be of assistance to demographers and policy planners.
