THEORETICAL AND METHODOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF MEXICO-U.S. M

该提案寻求获得Fogarty国际研究合作奖 (FIRCA)支持加州大学道格拉斯·S·梅西的联合工作 宾夕法尼亚州和Rene Zenteno，研究所瓜达拉哈拉校区 蒙特雷高级演播室技术。其具体目标是： 评估使民族调查问题适应标准人口学的有效性 调查并评估将它们添加到未来代表中的可能性 墨西哥城市劳动力市场样本；衡量潜在偏差 由于使用不具代表性的民族调查方法而引起的 墨西哥移民美国研究中的代表性抽样方法 国家；研究国际移徙的进程 墨西哥-美国边境地区，从而拓宽了经验泛化的基础 超过以前的工作；衡量在美国工作的每日通勤水平 墨西哥边境居民的合法和非法状态，并比较 边境通勤与长途通勤的原因及后果 移民；并记录美国移民经历的发生率和范围 使用具有全国代表性的数据在墨西哥人口中存在，并 洞察墨西哥-美国地理和社会经济选择性的趋势 随着时间的推移进行迁移。这些目标将通过有系统地实现 从墨西哥提华纳政府获得的数据的比较分析 全国城市就业调查(NSUE)，信息来自 墨西哥移民项目(MMP)在同一城市进行的最新一轮调查，以及 通过使用具有全国代表性的基于MMP的早期工作来复制 来自墨西哥回溯性人口调查的数据。如果我们对基质金属蛋白酶的比较 而Nsue在提华纳的数据是成功的，并表明了使用这两种方法的有效性 关于标准调查的民族调查项目以及将这两种方法结合在一个 单项分析，我们计划在其他城市实施这一基本设计 遍及墨西哥。

This proposal seeks a Fogarty International Research Collaboration Award (FIRCA) to support joint work between Douglas S. Massey of the University of Pennsylvania and Rene Zenteno of the Guadalajara Campus of the Instituto Tecnologico de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey. Its specific aims are: to evaluate the efficacy of adapting ethnosurvey questions to standard demographic surveys and to evaluate the possibility of adding them to future representative samples of Mexican urban labor markets; to measure the potential biases incurred by the use of non-representative ethnosurvey methods rather than representative sampling methods in studying Mexican out-migration to the United States; to study processes of international migration emanating from the Mexico-U.S. border region, thus broadening the base of empirical generalization over prior work; to measure the level of daily commuting for work in the United States-both legal and illegal-by Mexican border residents and to compare the causes and consequences of border commuting with those of long-distance migration; and to document the incidence and range of U.S. migratory experience present in the Mexican population using nationally representative data, and to discern trends in the geographic and socioeconomic selectivity of Mexico-U.S. migration over time. These goals will be accomplished by systematically comparing analyses of data obtained from the Tijuana administration of Mexico's National Survey of Urban Employment (NSUE) with information drawn from the Mexican Migration Project's (MMP) recent round of surveys in the same city, and by replicating earlier work based on the MMP using nationally-representative data from Mexico's Retrospective Demographic Survey. If our comparison of MMP and NSUE data in Tijuana is successful, and suggests the efficacy both of using ethnosurvey items on standard surveys and of combining the two approaches in a single analysis, we plan to implement this basic design in other cities throughout Mexico.
