N2 - Duration of residence refers to the variable used in empirical research that captures the time a foreign-born individual has been in the USA. This time could be accumulated in one continuous stretch (e.g., an individual who left his or her home country, came to the USA, and remained in the USA), or it could be accumulated across multiple trips to the USA. While this variable is relevant in both qualitative and quantitative research on the foreign born, it is relied upon heavily in quantitative studies as a proxy for an individual’s exposure to the USA.
