This dissertation examines the migration decisions and economic outcomes of immigrants in relation to US immigration policies. The first chapter examines how intensified US-Mexico border patrol affects the net tax contribution from undocumented Mexican immigrants in the US using a dynamic lifetime structural model of Mexican immigrants. A novel feature of the model is that it takes into account the fact that stricter immigration policies will not only reduce the number of immigrants in the US, but may also change their composition in terms of earnings and marital status. I find that the latter effect is quantitatively significant and its sign may change at different time horizons. The second chapter investigates a new explanation for why unsuccessful Mexican immigrants are more likely to return to Mexico and then come back to the US than successful immigrants. My hypothesis is that Mexicans want to migrate to the US to accumulate assets until they reach their target level, but they also have a preference for living in their home country.

520 $a This dissertation examines the migration decisions and economic outcomes of immigrants in relation to US immigration policies. The first chapter examines how intensified US-Mexico border patrol affects the net tax contribution from undocumented Mexican immigrants in the US using a dynamic lifetime structural model of Mexican immigrants. A novel feature of the model is that it takes into account the fact that stricter immigration policies will not only reduce the number of immigrants in the US, but may also change their composition in terms of earnings and marital status. I find that the latter effect is quantitatively significant and its sign may change at different time horizons. The second chapter investigates a new explanation for why unsuccessful Mexican immigrants are more likely to return to Mexico and then come back to the US than successful immigrants. My hypothesis is that Mexicans want to migrate to the US to accumulate assets until they reach their target level, but they also have a preference for living in their home country.
520 $a This disutility associated with living abroad---which I call a "homesickness"---increases as they reside in the US. Once an immigrant returns to Mexico, his homesickness drops to zero and he can make a fresh start. Thus, immigrants who could only get low wage jobs in the US choose to return home within a few years because their gain from residing in the US is not enough to compensate for their homesickness. But once they return to Mexico and their homesickness drops to zero, they reenter the US to resume their asset accumulation. The final chapter, co-authored with Rebecca Lessem, documents the extent to which wages of undocumented Mexican immigrants in the US decrease during recessions in the US and analyze the potential impact of this on natives' employment.
