Chapter Chapter 3 in A New Balance of Payments for the United States, 1790–1919, 2021, pp 47-87 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract This chapter is a massive undertaking, in which the official statistics (and to some extent, privately generated data) on international travel to or from the United States are replaced with superior series. For oceanic journeys, free-people travelers are divided into U.S.-citizen tourists and alien travelers. Aliens themselves are composed of immigrants and nonimmigrants, with nonimmigrants consisting of two groups: tourists plus distant-land transmigrants, and transmigrants to Canada and the West Indies. The general concept is embarkations; but, for immigration, admittances are also developed. Emigration is calculated via the emigration/immigration ratio—a reversal of conventional procedure.
