The impact of ethnic communities on immigrant entrepreneurship : evidence from Sweden

"In Sweden we shake hands" - but are we really?

Motivated by a recent controversy over handshaking, a survey of the personal networks of young Swedes (n=2244) is used to describe greeting practices across social class, gender, immigrant background, and geographic location. While greeting practices in the sample are fairly uniform, there are also important differences. Handshaking is predominantly used by respondents with an immigrant background
