Education, migration, and earnings of Puerto Ricans on the island and US mainland: Impact, outcomes, and consequences of an economic crisis
A long-standing and ongoing severe economic crisis, which was exacerbated in 2006 with the expiration of federal corporate income tax breaks, sharply deteriorating economic conditions, and the implementation of an unprecedented sales tax, resulted in a mass exodus of over half a million residents from Puerto Rico to the mainland between 2006 and 2014. This dramatic population shift has economic, demographic, and social implications for both the i…
Hispanic Entrepreneurs in the 2000s: An Economic Profile and Policy Implications
This book provides an in-depth economic and policy analysis of Hispanic entrepreneurs in the first decade of the 2000s. This book captures a flavor of issues related to the business cycle, economic outcomes (such as employment, sales, and contributions to tax coffers), socio-demographic characteristics, access to financial capital, the use and importance of digital technology, and public procurement and other policies affecting Hispanic business …

Language shift and maintenance among the children of immigrants in the U.S: Evidence in the Census for Spanish speakers and other language minorities
For over thirty years, research on Spanish in the U.S. has demonstrated an inexorable loss of the language among Spanish speaking populations. This study shows, however, that analyses of 1980, 1990, and 2000 U.S. Census data, using an innovative approach known as a synthetic cohort analysis , reveal a high degree of transmission of Spanish from first generation to second generation speakers. For the purpose of tracking reported language use of in…
Self-Employed Mexican Immigrants Residing along the U.S.-Mexico Border: The Earnings Effect of Working in the U.S. versus Mexico
This study uses U.S. census data from the year 2000 to analyze the earnings of Mexican immigrants along the U.S.-Mexico border while accounting for the location in which they work. The empirical results indicate that Mexican entrepreneurs who live in U.S.-border cities but primarily operate in Mexico accrue a significant earnings premium over their entrepreneurial and salaried counterparts working on the U.S. side of the border, even after contro…
Mexican Immigrant Self‐Employment Along the U.S.‐Mexico Border: An Analysis of 2000 Census Data
Objective. This study explores the entrepreneurial tendencies of Mexican immigrants in metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs) on the U.S. side of the Mexican border vis‐à‐vis the U.S. interior. Methods. Using 2000 Census data available in the 5% Integrated Public Use Microdata Series, we empirically analyze the self‐employment rates and earnings of Mexican immigrants residing in U.S. cities near Mexico versus those in nonborder MSAs. Results. Our …
Hispanic Ethnicity, Gender, and the Change in the LEP‐Earnings Penalty in the United States During the 1990s
Objective. Although studies suggest that the earnings of limited‐English‐proficient (LEP) Hispanic men have recently improved relative to the English fluent, it remains unclear as to whether specific Hispanic groups experienced similar improvements. Methods. Using 1990 and 2000 U.S. Census data, this study employs regression, wage decomposition, and quantile regression analyses to examine how gender and Hispanic ethnicity relate to the LEP‐earnin…

The Marital Status of Recent Mexican Immigrants in the United States in 1980 and 1990
Using Public Use Microdata Samples, we analyze the temporal marriage patterns of recent Mexican immigrants in the United States, and relate these patterns to socioeconomic and political events, such as U.S. immigration reform, increasing returns to skill, and rising incentives for unattached Mexicans to migrate during the 1980s. Our findings indicate that recent Mexican immigrants (particularly men) were less likely to be married within five year…
English Skills, Earnings, and the Occupational Sorting of Mexican Americans along the U.S.-Mexico Border
Alberto Davila, Marie T. Mora, English Skills, Earnings, and the Occupational Sorting of Mexican Americans along the U.S.-Mexico Border, The International Migration Review, Vol. 34, No. 1 (Spring, 2000), pp. 133-157
English Skills, Earnings, and the Occupational Sorting of Mexican Americans along the U.S.-Mexico Border
While English proficiency enhances labor market outcomes, its role in minority-language regions remains largely unexplored. Employing the U.S.-Mexico border as a minority-language region, we analyze whether English skills differently affect the earnings and occupational sorting of Mexican Americans along the border relative to their non-border peers. We find comparable English deficiency earnings penalties for Mexican immigrants, suggesting that …
English‐Language Assistance Programs, English‐Skill Acquisition, and the Academic Progress of High School Language Minority Students
Utilizing the 1988–1992 surveys from the Restricted‐Use National Education Longitudinal Study of 1988, I find that language minority students who received English‐language assistance (ELA) programs beyond the third grade reported lower English‐skill acquisition and made smaller academic progress in high school than their peers. Moreover, while the type of high school ELA program (e.g., bilingual education) differently affected scholastic outcomes…
