Se realiza un análisis integral de las causas y determinantes de la migración internacional en Belice, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panamá y la República Dominicana, países miembros del Sistema de la Integración Centroamericana (SICA). Específicamente, se emplea un modelo de datos de panel estimado por efectos aleatorios, que abarca el período 1990-2015, en el cual se plantea la verificación de las principales hipótesis sugeridas en la literatura relacionadas a factores económicos, geográficos, sociales, comerciales, políticos y culturales asociados a la migración. Los resultados sugieren que la percepción de ingresos promedios más altos, aproximado por las diferencias salariales entre ambos países, por sí sola no resulta suficiente para explicar la emigración de la región, sin embargo, constituye el determinante estructural más importante cuando se toman en consideración variables del tipo social, político y cultural. Asimismo, la población tiende a emigrar a países que garanticen una vida más longeva, pero también a sociedades más desiguales en términos económicos. La inseguridad o percepción de riesgo en el país de destino y un mayor flujo de inversión extranjera directa (IED) reducen la tasa de emigración de los países de la región.
A comprehensive analysis has been conducted on the causes and factors that determine international migration in Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama and the Dominican Republic, member countries of the Central American Integration System (SICA). Specifically, a panel data model estimated by effects selected at random is used, covering the period 1990-2015, in which the literature related to economic, geographic, social, commercial, political and cultural factors associated with migration are tested. The results suggest that the perception of higher average incomes, approximated by the income difference between the two countries alone is not sufficient to explain emigration from the region; however, it is the most important structural determinant when social, political and cultural variables are taken into consideration. Furthermore, the study indicates that the population tends to emigrate to countries that guarantee a longer life span, but on the contrary, to societies that are more unequal in economic terms. Insecurity or the perception of risk in the destination country and a greater flow of foreign direct investment (FDI) reduce the rate of emigration from the countries of the region.
