More than 77,000 people have disappeared in Mexico since the beginning of the war on drugs, but very little is known about them. After analyzing the descriptions of a non-randomized sample of disappearance registries from governmental data, we find that those events associated with organized crime are better understood by analyzing four factors: migration to the U.S. border and traveling on highways, gender differences and individual vs. multiple-victim disappearances, the forced recruitment of skilled and unskilled workers, and cooperation with the authorities. These results should be used as a starting point for pushing the government to release better data and to improve search mechanisms.

墨西哥有组织犯罪相关的失踪:来自杜兰戈、塔毛利帕斯和科阿韦拉的证据
自禁毒战争开始以来,墨西哥已有超过 77,000 人失踪,但人们对他们知之甚少。在分析了政府数据中对失踪登记的非随机样本的描述后,我们发现通过分析四个因素可以更好地理解与有组织犯罪相关的事件:移民到美国边境和在高速公路上旅行、性别差异以及个人与犯罪。多人失踪、强制招聘熟练和非熟练工人以及与当局合作。这些结果应该作为推动政府发布更好的数据和改进搜索机制的起点。
