This paper uses data from the Mexican Family Life Survey (MxFLS) to examine the patterns of selection of male, Mexican migrants to the United States. We confirm previous findings that Mexican migrants are selected from the middle of the education distribution, but show that there is no evidence for selection of migrants on cognitive ability. We demonstrate that migrants are also selected from the middle of the observed skill distribution, as measured by predicted wages. However, controlling for proxies of the costs of migration, we find substantially less evidence of "intermediate selection" on observed skill. We find little evidence for selection on unobserved skill, with or without controls for the costs of migration. Finally, we show directly that the decision to migrate is highly correlated with differential returns to observable skill and the costs of migration. Overall, these findings are consistent with the predictions of the canonical model of migration.

Abstract: The authors examine the role of migration networks in determining self-selection patterns of Mexico-U.S. migration. They first present a simple theoretical framework showing how such networks impact on migration incentives at different education levels and, consequently, how they are likely to affect the expected skill composition of migration. Using survey data from Mexico, the authors then show that the probability of migration is increasing with education in communities with low migrant networks, but decreasing with education in communities with high migrant networks. This is consistent with positive self-selection of migrants being driven by high migration costs, and with negative self-selection of migrants being driven by lower returns to education in the U.S. than in Mexico.

We use the 1990 and 2000 Mexican and U.S. population censuses to test Borjas's negative-selection hypothesis that the less skilled are those most likely to migrate from countries with high skill premia/earnings inequality to countries with low skill premia/earnings inequality. We find that Mexican immigrants in the United States are more educated than nonmigrants in Mexico; and were Mexican immigrants to be paid according to current skill prices in Mexico, they would be concentrated in the middle of Mexico's wage distribution. These results are inconsistent with the negative-selection hypothesis and instead suggest that there is intermediate selection of immigrants from Mexico.

Der Beitrag analysiert die (Selbst- )Selektion von Migranten zwischen Ländern, in denen substantielle Unterschiede bezüglich Einkommensungleichheit bestehen. In einer erweiterten Version des Roy-Modells werden Migrationskosten betrachtet, welche dazu tendieren, weniger als proportional zum Einkommensniveau zu wachsen. Die Folge ist eine positive Selbstselektion von Migranten obwohl die Einkommensungleichheit im Einwanderungsland größer ist als im Auswanderungsland. Auf der Grundlage eines neuen Paneldatensatzes, der Daten zur Migration aus 143 Auswanderungsländern in die sechs Haupteinwanderungsländer der OECD von 1975 bis 2000 enthält, werden die Faktoren der Selbstselektion von Migranten empirisch analysiert. Die positive (Selbst- )Selektion von Migranten trotz größerer Einkommensungleichheit in den Einwanderungsländern wird von der deskriptiven Statistik belegt. Die Ergebnisse deuten darauf hin, das sowohl eine größere Einkommensungleichheit im Einwanderungsland als auch im Auswanderungsland das Qualifikationsniveau der Migranten im Vergleich zur Bevölkerung des Auswanderungslands erhöht. Außerdem sinkt der positive Selektionsbias mit dem Einkommensniveau des Auswanderungslandes bei einem vorgegebenen Einkommensdifferential. Weitere Einflussfaktoren sind Migrationshemmnisse und die Entfernung zum Auswanderungsland. -- International migration ; self-selection of migrants ; inequality ; human capital of migrants
