The Determinants of Hispanic Remittances: An Exploration Using U.S. Census Data
This article explores whether a data set on demographic and economic characteristics of Hispanic-origin persons in the United States from the 1990 U.S. Population Census can inform the discussion on the detenninants of remittances from this population to selected Latin American and Caribbean countries. Parts I and 2 of the article discuss available data on remittances flows to selected Latin American countries and on the characteristics of person…
Refugee Remittances: Conceptual Issues and the Cuban and Nicaraguan Experiences
This article assesses the notion that the determinants of remittances generated by refugee flows, particularly from Communist-inspired systems, are different from those associated with labor migrations. Labor migration, by definition, involves the voluntary departure from the home country in search of better economic options, whereas refugees, including those from communist systems, depart their homelands for a combination of political and econom…

Labor Migration and Offshore Assembly in the Socialist World: The Cuban Experience
This article analyzes labor flows from Cuba to Eastern Europe (East Germany Czechoslovakia and Hungary) and to the Soviet Union during the 1980s; it also examines the phenomenon of Soviet assembly operations on the island. The analysis suggests that these labor flows were largely motivated by factors similar to those that drive labor migration in the West--notably labor complementarities arising from differential rates of labor force growth and t…
Measuring Cuban Economic Performance
Analysts attempting to assess economic growth in revolutionary Cuba are faced with two formidable obstacles: (1) official macroeconomic indicators published by the government are scarce and sometimes inconsistent because of frequent changes in the method of calculation; and (2) these indicators are not compatible with those produced by market economies because of differences in national income concepts. Because of these obstacles, it is difficult…
