Abstract

Se analiza el efecto de la recepción de remesas sobre la violencia (aproximada por medio de la tasa de homicidios). La relevancia del estudio radica en la revisión de dos fenómenos con alto impacto en la sociedad y economía mexicana. Se realizó un modelo de regresión lineal con variables instrumentales. A escala municipal se encontró una correlación alta y positiva entre la tasa de homicidios y el porcentaje de viviendas que reciben remesas, aunque dicha relación no se extiende en todo el territorio nacional. En general, la recepción de remesas tuvo un efecto significativo en el aumento de la violencia.

Alternate abstract:

We analyze the effect of the reception of remittances on violence (approximated by the homicide mortality rate). The relevance of the study lies in the research of two phenomena with high impact on Mexico's society and economy. We used a linear regression model with instrumental variables. At the municipal level we found a high and positive correlation between the homicide rate and the percentage of households that receive remittances, although this relationship does not extend throughout the whole territory. In general, the reception of remittances had a significant effect in the increase of violence.
