Do high-income or low-income immigrants leave faster?
Bijwaard, Govert; Wahba, Jackline - 2013
We estimate the impact of the income earned in the host country on return migration of labor migrants from developing countries. We use a three-state correlated competing risks model to account for the strong dependence of labor market status and the income earned. Our analysis is based on...

Labour market status and migration dynamics
Bijwaard, Govert - 2009
In this empirical paper we assess how labour market transitions and out- and repeated migration of immigrants are interrelated. We estimate a multi-state multiple spell competing risks model with four states: employed, unemployed receiving benefits, out-of-the-labour market (no benefits) and...

Visa policies, networks and the cliff at the border
Bertoli, Simone; Fernández-Huertas Moraga, Jesús - 2012
The scale of international migration flows depends on moving costs that are, in turn, influenced by host-country policies and by the size of migrant networks at destination. This paper estimates the influence of visa policies and networks upon bilateral migration flows to multiple destinations....

Return migration, wage differentials, and the optimal migration duration
Dustmann, Christian - 2001
In simple static models, migration increases with the wage differential between host and home country. In a dynamic framework, and if migrations are temporary, the size of the migrant population in the host country depends also on the migration duration. This paper analyses optimal migration...

The optimal migration duration and activity choice after re-migration
Dustmann, Christian; Kirchkamp, Oliver - 2001
If migrants return to their origin countries, two questions arise which are of immediate economic interest for both immigration and emigration country: What determines their optimal migration duration, and what are the activities migrants choose after a return. Little research has been devoted...

Immigrants' wage growth and selective out-migration
Bijwaard, Govert; Wahba, Jackline - 2014
This paper examines immigrant wage growth taking into account selective out-migration using administrative data from … the Netherlands. We also take into account the potential endogeneity of the immigrants' labor supply and their out-migration … and out-migration behavior. We find that simple models lead to biased estimates of the wage growth of immigrants …

Fertig, Michael - 2002
Based on the ideas developed in the literature on the evaluation of active labor market policy, this paper provides a framework for the evaluation of key elements of immigration policy. To this end, the fundamental ingredients of evaluating policy interventions are explained and the specific...
