Download or read book Migration Trade and Foreign Direct Investment in Mexico written by Patricio Aroca González and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Part of the rationale for the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) was that it would increase trade and foreign direct investment (FDI) flows, creating jobs and reducing migration to the United States. Since poor data on illegal flows to the United States make direct measurement difficult, Aroca and Maloney instead evaluate the mechanism behind these predictions using data on migration within Mexico where the census data permit careful analysis. They offer the first specifications for migration within Mexico, incorporating measures of cost of living, amenities, and networks. Contrary to much of the literature, labor market variables enter very significantly and as predicted once the authors control for possible credit constraint effects. Greater exposure to FDI and trade deters out-migration with the effects working partly through the labor market. Finally, the authors generate some tentative inferences about the impact on increased FDI on Mexico-U.S. migration. On average, a doubling of FDI inflows leads to a 1.5-2 percent fall in migration.

Download or read book The Effect of the Trade Balance on the Decision to Migrate from Mexico to the United States written by Arun Sankaran and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The decision to migrate from Mexico to the United States is based upon many different factors. Personal characteristics such as age, education, skills or family background factor into the decision making process. It is also based on the social networks available to the migrant in the United States; access to physical capital; community level variables; U.S border enforcement policy; macroeconomic indicators such as foreign direct investment, real interest rate, inflation, and national wage differences. However, the influence of the trade balance has not been examined yet. Using the Mexico Migration Project (MMP) dataset, I plan on analyzing the changes in Mexican exports and U.S imports into Mexico on the decision to migrate. Economic and social theory state contrasting theories on whether the relationship will be positive or negative. This paper aims to discover a relationship by extending previous models of migration with variables for exports and imports. The results show that documented migration to the United States from Mexico decreases as Mexican exports rise and increases as imports from the United States into Mexico increase. However, the same results can not be concluded about undocumented migration with statistical confidence. The results suggest that if the United States adopts protectionist trade policies then migration to the country might occur as an unintended consequence.

This book was released on 2018-09-26 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comparative study examines the processes of development and the configurations of export industries in northern Morocco and on the northern border of Mexico. As the contributors explore the similar characteristics of these two borders, they also examine how the global economy circulates around “places of production”—sites advantageous to the development of export industries. Focusing on transnational firms and the working conditions, settlement processes, and migratory flows they engender, this volume considers if a convergence toward a global culture is inevitable in places of production, or if local resistance emerges in response to the impact of the global.
Download or read book Five years after NAFTA written by Robert Manning and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Follow Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter Jerry Kammer as he tells the story of the federal government's failure to control illegal immigration as Congress promised in 1986, when it enacted an historic compromise reform that also provided amnesty to nearly three million unauthorized immigrants. Kammer argues that this was one of the most consequential failures in American history because it led to the proliferation of illegal immigration, which produced a backlash that eventually led to the election of Donald Trump.Losing Control is a vivid history of the past half century of immigration politics and policy. It is also a dramatic ground-level account of how the story took shape. Kammer describes the economic and cultural forces that both pushed millions of migrants from home communities in Latin America and pulled them northward to the US.He shows how the backlash gradually emerged from the frustrations of American workers and communities who felt overwhelmed by the influx and betrayed by their government.Kammer also explains the Democrats abandonment of their historic commitment to control illegal immigration. And he details how Republicans placated corporate interests by allowing workplace controls to fail. Meanwhile, both parties sought to appease the public by spending billions on border security. Finally, he suggests new reforms that would honor our dual legacy as a country of immigrants and a country of laws.
