Asian immigrants as well as their descendents have performed better and continue to go farther in their education than other racial groups. Asian students not only outperform other minorities like African Americans and immigrant groups like Hispanics, but Asian students also outperform native White students. This study provides insight into why Asians achieve higher levels of education in higher numbers using social networks and social capital to illustrate how common cultural values among many Asian ethnicities increase incentives, provide resources, and alter preferences toward higher levels of educational attainment. This study offers an analysis of the role ethnic social networks play helping both recent and established immigrants adapt both socially and economically to life in the United States and why characteristics of ethnic social networks may be an important determinant of a student's level of educational attainment. In addition, a more general discussion of how social networks and social capital may lower barriers to access to many forms of capital and present a solution to market failure presents a glimpse at the comprehensive nature of social networks and their value to economic theory.
