This study considers both patterns, and examines&amp;nbsp;selectivity separately in low and high prevalence communities and for first-time and repeat&amp;nbsp;migrants. Based on data from 18,042 household heads in 119 Mexican communities from the&amp;nbsp;Mexican Migration Project, the analyses show that (i) first-time migrants in low prevalence&amp;nbsp;communities come from poor households, while repeat migrants in high prevalence communities&amp;nbsp;belong to wealthy households, and (ii) higher amounts of remittances reach wealthy households.&amp;nbsp;These results suggest that repeat migration and remittances may be mechanisms for wealth&amp;nbsp;accumulation in the study communities. Descriptive analyses associate these mechanisms with&amp;nbsp;increasing wealth disparities between households with and without migrants, especially in high&amp;nbsp;prevalence communities. The study, similar to prior findings, shows the importance of repeat&amp;nbsp;migration trips, which, given sustained remittances, may amplify the wealth gap between&amp;nbsp;migrants and non-migrants in migrant-sending communities. The study also qualifies prior&amp;nbsp;findings by differentiating between low and high prevalence communities and observing a&amp;nbsp;growing wealth gap only in the latter.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
