在这份研究简报中，我们为飓风玛丽亚后波多黎各移民的数据提供了急需的，初始的和不断增长的库存。使用联邦储备银行纽约/Equifax消费者信贷小组的数据，我们提供了一个详细的帐户，从移民和移民返回波多黎各在飓风玛丽亚后的季度和年份。我们表明，从波多黎各的向外移民是，并仍然在飓风玛丽亚后升高，特别是对于更脆弱的地方，就水域，特别是不合标准的住房。我们还表明，到2019年第二季度，返回波多黎各的移民人数较低，为12- 13%，那些从相对较脆弱的地方移民返回该岛的人数比那些从不那么脆弱的地方移民返回的人数高出10%。总的来说，我们的研究结果有助于完善一个小的，但越来越多的关于飓风玛丽亚和其他极端天气事件后移民的研究机构。
In this research brief, we contribute to a much-needed, initial, and growing inventory of data on Puerto Rican migration after Hurricane Maria. Using data from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York/Equifax Consumer Credit Panel, we provide a detailed account of out-migration from and return migration to Puerto Rico in the quarters and years after Hurricane Maria. We show that out-migration from Puerto Rico was and remains elevated after Hurricane Maria, particularly for more vulnerable places with respect to water area and especially substandard housing. We also show that return migration to Puerto Rico by the second quarter of 2019 is low, 12-13%, with those emigrating from relatively more vulnerable places returning to the island at comparably higher levels than those from less vulnerable places. Taken together, our results help to round out a small, but growing body of research on migration after Hurricane Maria and other extreme weather events.
