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

该提案旨在获得Fogarty国际研究合作奖 （FIRCA）支持道格拉斯S.梅西大学 宾夕法尼亚州和研究所瓜达拉哈拉校区的Rene Zenteno 蒙特雷研究技术。其具体目标是： 评估使民族调查问题适应标准人口统计学的有效性 调查，并评估将其纳入未来代表性调查的可能性。 墨西哥城市劳动力市场的样本;以衡量潜在的偏见 使用非代表性的人种调查方法而不是 在研究墨西哥移民到美国的代表性抽样方法 研究1990年代以来产生的国际移徙进程， 墨西哥-美国边境地区，从而扩大了经验概括的基础 在以前的工作，以衡量水平的日常通勤工作，在美国 国家-包括法律的和非法的-由墨西哥边境居民，并比较 边境通勤与长途通勤的原因和后果 移民;并记录美国移民经历的发生率和范围 使用全国代表性数据， 辨别墨西哥-美国的地理和社会经济选择性的趋势。 随着时间的迁移。这些目标将通过系统地 比较分析从墨西哥蒂勒森政府获得的数据， 全国城市就业调查（NSUE），资料来自 墨西哥移民项目（MMP）最近一轮在同一城市的调查， 通过复制早期工作的基础上，MMP使用国家代表性 墨西哥回顾性人口调查的数据。如果我们比较MMP 和NSUE数据在天津是成功的，并表明使用 关于标准调查的民族调查项目，以及将这两种方法结合起来， 单分析，我们计划在其他城市实施这一基本设计 整个墨西哥。

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.
