Blinder-Oaxaca decompositions to help explain the paradox. We find evidence that selectivity is playing a significant role in the relatively healthy status of Mexican migrants in the United States. More importantly, there is evidence that health selectivity is a complex process and its effects typically do not work the same way for different health conditions and across genders. We also find evidence that some of migrants' health advantages are lost as they spend more time in the United States.

A éste fenómeno se le conoce como la Paradoja de Salud Hispana. Usando datos para México y Estados Unidos, nosotros analizamos varios resultados de salud para los blancos no hispanos y para los mexicanos viviendo en los Estados Unidos y en México empleando descomposiciones Blinder-Oaxaca para ayudar a explicar la paradoja. Encontramos evidencia de que la selectividad juega un papel significativo en el estatus relativo de salud de los migrantes mexicanos en los Estados Unidos. Más importante, existe evidencia de que la selectividad en salud es un proceso complejo y de que sus efectos no operan de la misma forma para las diferentes condiciones de salud y de género. Adicionalmente, encontramos evidencia de que algunas de las ventajas de salud de los migrantes se pierden conforme ellos viven más tiempo en los Estados Unidos.
This investigation analyzes labor implications of employment procurement through friends and family on wages, workers' benefits and job longevity in comparison to other job search methods in Mexico during 2005-2019. Various econometric models are performed. For salary, fixed effects by city and year will be estimated through Pooled Ordinary Least Squares (OLS). Second, it is analyzed if jobs obtained through friends and family are more likely to provide benefits equal to or greater than those required by law, for this, a logistic model and an ordered logistic model are employed with fixed effects; and finally, for the duration of employment we use a parametric survival model. The results indicate that employment procured through family and friends result in higher salaries and longer work durations but less work benefits.
