在本文中，我们调查了墨西哥瓦哈卡州农村地区的移民家庭使用汇款的方式。我们利用该州中部山谷 12 个农村社区的调查和人种学研究数据来检验三种投资策略：当地（乡村）商业经济的投资策略、农业/乳制品行业的投资策略以及瓦哈卡州旅游业的投资策略。在我们的讨论中，我们研究了围绕此类本地努力的挑战，并询问这种模式是否会增加依赖性，或创造机会。最后，我们问，汇款投资能否减少未来的移民？版权所有 (c) 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
In this paper, we investigate the ways in which migrant households in rural Oaxaca, Mexico, use remittances. We use data from a survey and ethnographic research in 12 rural communities in the central valleys of the state to examine three investment strategies: those made in the local (village) commercial economy, those made in the agricultural/dairy sector, and those made in Oaxaca's tourism industry. In our discussion, we examine the challenges that surround such local efforts and ask whether such patterns increase dependency, or create opportunities. Finally, we ask, can the investment of remittances mitigate future migration? Copyright (c) 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
