Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Transmigration is defined as daily cross border employment of people who reside on the Mexican side and work in a nearby place inside the United States. In this border ambience, transmigration is considered as the expression of a transborder labor market. In this research, we show that transmigration is not part of a single cross‐border labor market, rather transmigrants participate in two labor markets, one on each side of the border. The general conclusion is that transmigration is fueled by the structural differences (expressed here by wages) between Mexico and the United States and that Mexican labor supply and the American demand have little explanatory power. On the supply side, lack of documents to work legally in the United States is not a restriction to transmigration. On the demand side, growth of the American's border local economy has little effect on the increase of transmigration.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
