ILLEGAL MEXICAN MIGRANTS AND MEXICAN AMERICAN EARNINGS

本研究有三个目的：（1）估计 在SMSA的墨西哥血统的无证人口（和在 （2）1980年美国的州一级剩余非大都市区; 估计大都市劳动力市场特征的影响 关于墨西哥裔无证件者（特别是男性）的人数 1980年人口普查中统计的劳动力市场;（3）估计 无证工人对就业和收入的直接影响 合法居住的墨西哥裔美国人和（如适用）其他 在这样的劳动力市场中的种族/民族男性人口。 的结果 第二阶段的分析，连同估计的计数， 无证人口，将构成具体说明 劳动力需求的经济计量模型，可用于估计影响 合法居住的墨西哥裔美国人和其他工人的收入。 我们的研究将利用1970年和1980年美国人口普查的数据， 使用INS中的样本微文件和1979年外星人地址微文件， 获得具体地区的无证人口估计数。

The proposed research has three purposes: (1) To estimate the size of the undocumented population of Mexican origin in the SMSA's (and in the state-level residual nonmetropolitan areas) of the U.S. in 1980; (2) To estimate the effects of the characteristics of metropolitan labor markets on the number of undocumented persons (especially males) of Mexican origin counted in the 1980 Census in those labor markets; and (3) To estimate directly the effect of undocumented workers on the employment and earnings of the legally resident Mexican American and (where appropriate) other racial/ethnic male populations in such labor markets. The results of the second phase of the analysis, together with the estimates of the counted undocumented population, will constitute the basis for specifying an econometric model of labor demand that can be used to estimate the effects on the earnings of legally resident Mexican American and other workers. Our study will utilize data from the 1970 and 1980 U.S. Censuses, Public Use Sample Microfiles and the 1979 Alien Address Microfile from the INS to obtain area-specific estimates of the undocumented population.
