The Choice of Migration Destination: Dominican and Cuban Immigrants to the Mainland United States and Puerto Rico.

Funkhouser, Edward; Ramos, Fernando A.

International Migration Review, v27 n3 p537-56 Fall 1993

Using figures from the 1980 Census, the importance of relative earnings and culture in the choice of immigration destination (Puerto Rico or mainland United States) for immigrants from the Spanish-speaking Caribbean is examined. Not all differences in location decision are attributable to differences in reward structure by location. (SLD)
