| Abstract: | This study uses household-level data from the United States and Mexico to examine labor-market integration. The author considers how the effects of shocks and rates of convergence to an equilibrium differential are affected by borders, geography, and demographics. The author finds that even though a large wage differential exists between them, the labor markets of the United States and Mexico are closely integrated. |
