随着国际移民在世界范围内的发展，如何保障海外公民的政治权利问题引起了学术界的广泛关注。一个令人担忧的问题是，如果购买选票在母国普遍存在，这种做法可能会被出口到外部选举。虽然有许多研究集中在外部投票的选举参与，但没有系统的测试是否存在跨境买票。本研究旨在通过关注2018年墨西哥联邦选举来解决这个问题。我们的名单实验表明，在我们的样本中，在美国的墨西哥移民中约有32%在竞选期间经历过购买选票。此外，多变量分析表明，最容易被收买选票的人居住在墨西哥移民高度集中的地区。研究结果指出，移民输出国和移民接收国之间建立的跨境网络在促进跨境买票方面的重要性。
As international migration has grown worldwide, the issue of how to assure the political rights of citizens living abroad has attracted much scholarly attention. One concern has been that if vote-buying is widespread in home countries, this practice could be exported to external elections. Although there have been numerous studies focused on electoral participation in external voting, there has been no systematic test of whether vote-buying is occurring across borders. This study aims to address this question by focusing on the 2018 federal elections in Mexico. Our list experiment shows that in our sample, approximately 32 per cent of Mexican immigrants in the United States experienced vote-buying during the electoral campaign. Furthermore, a multivariate analysis shows that the people most susceptible to vote-buying were living in areas where there was a high concentration of Mexican immigrants. The study results point to the importance of cross-border networks, which have been built between countries sending and receiving immigrants, in facilitating vote-buying across borders.
