Abstract

En el presente estudio se estimó un modelo de gravedad modificado para la migración, con el objetivo de determinar que variables influyen en la población mexicana que decide emigrar al extranjero. Se trabajó con datos en panel considerando 57 países de destino de los emigrantes mexicanos. Para estimar el modelo se incluyeron componentes tanto de México como del país de destino, que permitieran apreciar el comportamiento de la emigración en México. Las variables explicativas fueron: el producto interno bruto (PIB) per cápita, tasa de desempleo, distancia y si hablan o no una lengua común. Las variables estadísticamente significativas a un nivel de confianza del 90%, 95% y 99% fueron; el desempleo en el país extranjero, la distancia entre México y el país de destino de los emigrantes y el dominio de una lengua común.
