这项比较研究使用 1990 年和 1991 年收集的数据来研究最近抵达加拿大和美国的巴西人的汇款行为。这些数据允许在移民抵达两个东道国后相对较快的时间内检查他们的汇款活动。在对比这些新抵达移民的汇款活动之前，我们首先记录了这两个群体在抵达时的高度相似性；在对比他们不同的结果时，这一点变得很重要。接下来，本研究通过关注三个政策相关的因变量，为微观层面的汇款模式和行为的研究文献做出贡献。更具体地说，采用多变量分析来检查最能确定以下因素的个人因素：(1) 谁汇款，(2) 汇款金额，以及 (3) 何时将资金汇出用于生产目的。由于分析的数据是使用同一台仪器收集的，因此可以对两个目的地的结果进行对比。
This comparative study uses data collected in 1990 and 1991 to examine the remittance behavior of Brazilians who had recently arrived in Canada and the United States. These data permit an examination of remittance activity among immigrants relatively soon after their arrival in a pair of host destinations. Prior to contrasting the remittance activity of these newly arrived immigrants, we first document the high degree of similarity between the two groups at their time of arrival; a point that becomes important when contrasting their divergent outcomes. Next, this study contributes to the research literature on micro-level remittance patterns and behaviors by focusing on three policy relevant dependant variables. More specifically, multivariate analyses are undertaken to examine those individual-level factors that best determine:(1) who remits,(2) how much they remit, and (3) when funds are remitted for productive purposes. Because the data analyzed were collected with the same instrument, results are then contrasted for the two destinations.
