Enclaves, Language and the Location Choice of Migrants by Thomas K. Bauer, Gil S. Epstein, Ira N. Gang (August 2002) published in: Journal of Population Economics, 2005, 18 (4), 649–662 Abstract: Empirical studies in the migration literature have shown that migration enclaves (networks) negatively affect the language proficiency of migrants. These studies, however, ignore the choice of location as a function of language skills. Using data on Mexican migration to the US, we show that migrants choose smaller networks as their English language proficiency improves. Text: See Discussion Paper No. 558
