ABSTRACT:

This study is a replication of  ``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.
