Zusammenfassung

Este trabajo investiga el impacto de las comunidades de inmigrantes (redes sociales) y de las relaciones comerciales históricas (redes de negocios) sobre la decisión de localización de los inmigrantes en una determinada provincia de Italia, Portugal o España. Se analiza la dependencia espacial que puede afectar a esta decisión contrastando, primero, si existen efectos spillover de la inmigración en el resto de provincias y, a continuación, si hay un efecto asociado a la presencia de estas redes en las provincias vecinas. Los resultados muestran que las redes sociales actúan como factor de atracción, pero su efecto positivo se atenúa cuando hay provincias adyacentes con comunidades de inmigrantes del mismo país grandes. En el caso de las redes de negocios, las provincias contiguas con lazos comerciales históricos con el país de origen del inmigrante compiten como destinos alternativos. Así, el impacto de la inmigración se desborda al resto de provincias en el país de destino, y requerirá de la coordinación de las políticas de migración locales y nacionales para que sean efectivas.
