Resumen
Descripción
The authors develop and estimate a model
explaining the level and country-source composition of
United States immigration since the early 1970s. The model
incorporates ratios of source country income, education, and
demographic structure, as well as relative inequality. The
authors' model also incorporates both network effects,
as reflected in the stock of previous immigrants, and
various controls for immigration quota policy. The model is
estimated on a panel of 81 source countries for 1971-98. The
results strongly support the influence of economic,
demographic, and geographic variables as well as policy. The
regression results are used to identify those factors that
most influenced the changing composition of U.S. immigration
by source.
