Resumen

Las características personales de los inmigrantes pueden reforzar el impacto de las redes de migrantes sobre el comercio bilateral. Si bien la mayor parte de la atención se ha puesto en el nivel educativo, este trabajo destaca la relevancia de los puestos de trabajo ocupados por los inmigrantes. Nuestros resultados confirman que la presencia de un número importante de trabajadores nacidos en el extranjero ocupando puestos de gestión es fundamental para explicar la reducción en los costes de transacción mediante las redes de migrantes.
