Abstract: This is a technical documentation of Arai et al. (2008) which replicates "Are Muslim Immigrants Different in Terms of Cultural Integration?" by Alberto Bisin, Eleonora Patacchini, Thierry Verdier and Yves Zenou, published in Journal of European Economic Association, 6, 445-456, 2008.
Bisin et al. (2008) report that they have 5963 observations in their study. Using their empirical setup, we can only identify 1901 relevant observations in the original data. After removing missing values we are left with 818 observations. We cannot replicate any of their results and our estimations yield no support for their claims.
Keywords: Religious Identity; Assimilation; Muslims; Replication Study; Reproducible Research
