“…More broadly, my analysis relates to the literature on heterogeneous migratory responses to local labor market conditions based on workers' skills (Greenland et al, 2019;Notowidigdo, 2020;Utar, 2018;Cadena and Kovak, 2016;Bound and Holzer, 2000), the relative importance of regional mobility compared to sectoral mobility given adjustment costs (Dix-Carneiro and Kovak, 2017;Bartik, 2018;Autor et al, 2014), and the relative importance of out-migration compared to in-migration (Monras, 2018). Finally, this paper also relates to the extensive literature examining the effect of trade liberalization on labor market outcomes in the last two decades (Topalova, 2010;McCaig, 2011;Kovak, 2013;Autor et al, 2013Autor et al, , 2014Dix-Carneiro, 2014;Acemoglu et al, 2016;Pierce and Schott, 2016), as well as an array of socio-economic outcomes such as education and child labor (Edmonds et al, 2009(Edmonds et al, , 2010, marriage and fertility (Autor et al, 2015(Autor et al, , 2019, health and mortality (Fernández Guerrico, 2021;Adda and Fawaz, 2020;Pierce and Schott, 2020) and crime (Dell et al, 2019;Khanna et al, 2019;Dix-Carneiro et al, 2018). 5 Here, using a similar identification strategy, I provide an insight into the direct effects of PNTR on Mexican exports to the U.S. and the impact on manufacturing employment as a possible mechanism that induced migratory responses.…”
