When “more is less: Connecting for a better life in rural Mexico
Does use of formal and informal credit reduce poverty in rural Mexico
Determinants of poverty among Indigenous people in Mexico's Guerrero Mountain Region
Joining a migrant caravan: Herd behaviour and structural factors
The largest migrant caravan headed from the Northern Triangle of Central America to the southern border of the United States left Honduras on 13 October 2018. When it crossed the border into Mexico, many people wondered why more than 7000 Central Americans were moving to a country with such adverse immigration policies. This research answers the question by interviewing migrants from the Caravan during their travel through Mexico, and combining p…
El impacto de las remesas internacionales en los gastos en salud de los hogares mexicanos
International remittances represent a fundamental role in household expenditures. The purpose of this article is to estimate the impact of these transfers on health expenditures and the lack of access to health services in Mexican households at national, rural, and urban levels. Using Propensity Score Matching techniques, our results suggest that remittances contribute to reducing the lack of access to health services and increasing householdsí h…
Internet access and poverty reduction: Evidence from rural and urban Mexico
Exploring the impacts of Internet access on poverty: A regional analysis of rural Mexico
The purpose of this article is to estimate the impact of Internet access on poverty for a sample of people living in contrasting regions located across rural Mexico. Using a quasi-experimental technique, our results suggest that Internet access is an additional mechanism that contributes to decreasing poverty levels. Consequently, it could assist in increasing the proportion of people living out of poverty in rural areas; however, this is not uni…
The impact of remittances on food insecurity: Evidence from Mexico
Literature has provided evidence that remittances have an impact on (economic) development and quality of life in developing countries. However, little is known about how remittances from different origins are used in relation to food insecurity. Using data from the CONEVAL Rural Households Surveys (ENCHOR) of 2013 and 2015, we estimate ordered probit regressions with instrumental variables in order to assess the potentially distinct impacts of i…
Internet adoption and usage patterns in rural Mexico
The aim of this paper is to identify the socioeconomic and demographic factors that stimulate Internet adoption and use among Mexico's rural population. Using an econometric model to deal with potential selection bias problems, and information from Mexico's National Survey on Availability and Use of Information Technologies in Households (ENDUTIH), our results suggest that the probability of using the Internet is higher for people who have digita…
Vulnerability, family assets, and income-generating strategies of households in rural Mexico
This study is a first step in analyzing, on a national scale in Mexico, the assets, income and vulnerability context of households in rural communities. A multinomial logit model was used to show the impact of family labor, education, indigenous status, climate change, and access to markets on the probability of belonging to the different categories of households with diverse sustainable livelihoods. Our results provide evidence that increasing i…
Determinants of Indigenous Migration: The Case of Guerrero's Mountain Region in Mexico
The impact of remittances on domestic tourism in Mexico
In this paper we use data from the National Household Income and Expenditure Survey for the years 2010, 2012, 2014 and 2016 to evaluate the impact of internal and international remittances on Domestic Tourism Consumption in Mexico. Using treatment and multi-treatment techniques, the results of this research show that the reception of remittances has a positive impact on tourism spending. In fact, the probability that a household will spend on dom…
Participación en el sector no agropecuario en el México rural: Una Perspectiva De Género
Los hogares rurales diversifican sus ingresos como estrategia para minimizar los riesgos, reducir la variabilidad y asegurar un nivel mínimo de ingreso. Con información panel de la Encuesta Nacional a Hogares Rurales de México, el presente estudio examina, bajo una perspectiva de género, los factores que determinan la participación en el sector no agropecuario. Los resultados señalan que en las ocupaciones asalariadas no agropecuarias, los hombre…
Las remesas como determinantes del gasto en las zonas rurales de México
En este trabajo se presentan diferentes especificaciones empíricas para probar el impacto de las remesas nacionales e internacionales en los patrones de gasto de los hogares rurales mexicanos. Utilizando la Encuesta Nacional de Ingresos y Gastos de los Hogares de 1988 a 2012 se desarrolla un enfoque econométrico que considera la censura en distintas categorías de gasto y controla el efecto de las remesas a nivel hogar. Los resultados indican efec…
