While simple comparisons based on per capita income and theestimated rental value of the dwelling suggest that migrants do better than nonmigrantsfor poverty, but worse for housing quality, none of the two groups isfound to dominate the other for reasonable welfare thresholds when assumptionsregarding economies of scale are relaxed. 2004 artículo científico 0304-2758 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=22100101 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=221 Estudios de Economía application/pdf Universidad de Chile Estudios de Economía (Chile) Num.1 Vol.31 |
