immigration and emigration country: What determines their optimal migration duration, and what are the activities migrants choose … activities.

This paper examines how immigrants’ optimal migration duration in the host country responds to the purchasing power … parity (ppp) and relative wages between the host and source countries. A theoretical model of joint migration duration and … saving decisions reveals that the optimal migration duration decreases in ppp unless the elasticity of intertemporal …

To analyze unemployment duration comprehensively, dynamic duration time models … are used in which covariate effects are allowed to vary smoothly with unemployment duration and others enter the model in …
