Source country characteristics and immigrants’ optimal migration duration decision
Kırdar, Murat G. - In: IZA journal of migration : IZAJOM 2 (2013), pp. 1-21
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...
