Abstract

El objetivo de este artículo es examinar qué factores determinan la cantidad de remesas enviadas por los migrantes latinoamericanos y caribenos en Espana. Los microdatos de la Encuesta Nacional de Inmigrantes del 2007 se utilizan para estimar modelos de regresión lineal y modelos censurados por el acto de remitir para analizar conjuntamente la probabilidad y la cantidad de dinero transferida por los migrantes a sus países de origen. Los resultados muestran, primero, que la cantidad de remesas enviadas está determinada por el grado de asentamiento familiar y por el éxito en la inserción laboral, lo que se refleja también en la mayor cantidad enviada a medida que aumentan los anos de residencia tras la llegada. En segundo término, se encuentra que las remesas están influidas en gran medida por la existencia de acuerdos con los familiares en el país de origen o el interés del migrante de cara a preparar un posible retorno.
