本文比较了家庭移民和目的地特定网络对国际和国内移民的影响。我们发现移民网络对国际流动比对国内流动更重要，女性网络比男性网络对墨西哥境内的流动更重要。就移居美国而言，男性移民网络对未来男性移民的影响比对女性移民的影响更大，女性移民网络降低了男性移民的几率，但显著增加了女性移民的几率。我们认为，区分移民网络的性别构成和目的地内容加深了我们对累积因果关系如何影响墨西哥移民模式的理解。
This article compares the impact of family migrant and destination-specific networks on international and internal migration. We find that migrant networks are more important for international moves than for internal moves and that female networks are more important than male networks for moves within Mexico. For moves to the United States, male migrant networks are more important for prospective male migrants than for female migrants, and female migrant networks lower the odds of male migration, but significantly increase female migration. We suggest that distinguishing the gender composition and destination content of migrant networks deepens our understanding of how cumulative causation affects patterns of Mexican migration.
