Abstract

type="main" xml:lang="es"> Este estudio examina el impacto de los cambios en la proporción de la población extranjera sobre los cambios en las tasas de homicidios a escala de condado por medio de datos de mortalidad por homicidio a escala de condado en Estados Unidos y un modelo de regresión espacial de Durbin que representa la aglutinación espacial de las muertes por homicidio y la heterogeneidad no observada entre condados. Los aumentos en la proporción de población extranjera se asocian a reducciones en la tasa de homicidios; un proceso observado más claramente en el sur de los Estados Unidos. Esta reducción es en gran medida el resultado de un efecto de spillover, explicado como el efecto indirecto del crecimiento de la población inmigrante en un condado en las tasas de homicidio en otros condados.
