        %X An economic theory of immigration and immigrant absorption for a religious minority is
developed and applied to Jewish history. Human capital is classified according to whether it
is allocative or productive, transferable or location-specific, general or Jewish. Crossclassifying
these categories leads to various hypotheses about self-selection among Jewish
immigrants and their influence on the Jewish community in their destination.
Complementarity between general and Jewish human capital is also discussed as a factor in
the development of location-specific Jewish human capital and its corresponding Jewish
culture.
