In order to address the endogeneity of the migration variable, we exploit the implementation of the Plan Colombia, which caused thousands of Colombian people to seek asylum in Ecuador. About 10% of Ecuador’s population of 14 million lives outside the country; half of these migrants—over 560,000—are in the United States.1 Most of this migration to the United States is unauthorized, and in 2011, Ecuador was eighth on the list of origin countries for apprehended undocumented migrants.
