    Chicano return migrants do not experience lower earnings due to self-selection. Instead, lower earnings for Chicano return migrants are linked to residing in areas with more co-ethnics, suggesting a preference for non-pecuniary benefits.

    Area of Science:

    • Sociology
    • Economics
    • Demography

    Background:

    • Chicano migration is a significant demographic phenomenon.
    • Understanding the economic outcomes of return migration is crucial for policy and social science.
    • Previous studies have not fully addressed selectivity biases in Chicano return migration.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To examine earnings differentials between Chicano return and onward migrants.
    • To analyze the role of self-selection in migration decisions and outcomes.
    • To investigate the impact of individual and locational attributes on migrant earnings.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized data from the 1990 U.S. Census Public Use Microdata Sample (PUMS).
    • Employed statistical methods to control for migration and labor force self-selection.

  • Analyzed earnings profiles based on migration status and geographic concentration of co-ethnics.

    • Main Results:

    • Chicano return migrants are not negatively self-selected.
    • Return migrants exhibit smaller earnings profiles compared to onward migrants.
    • Higher concentrations of co-ethnics in residential areas negatively impact return migrant earnings.

    Conclusions:

    • Return migration among Chicanos is not driven by negative economic selection.
    • The lower earnings of Chicano return migrants are primarily attributed to locational factors.
    • Chicano return migrants may prioritize non-pecuniary benefits, such as residing in the Southwest, over immediate financial gains.
