Description:
Takes a broad view of networks to include families with a history of migrating between Mexico and the US, strangers from the same region, daughter communities in the US, and coyotes or polleros who smuggle people for money. The perspective on human capital accumulation is on the earnings of people once they have returned to Mexico as compared with those who never immigrated. The data set of over 5,000 Mexicans used for the study was created by the Mexican Migration Project, which surveys communities in western and central Mexico.
