摘要:

ABSTRACTImmigrants may affect natives through a number of channels. Among these many channels of influence, the production theory and public sector channels have been most frequently studies in the context of contemporary U.S. immigration. Other channels that may be important are changed local demand for final goods and services (including that generated by immigrant wealth); indirect and induced demands for factors of production, demand for fixed capital (e.g. housing) and land, technological change, scale and agglomeration economies, unemployment, labor fore participation, inflation, balance of payments, regional and national net experts, internal migration, remittances, externalities and fertility patterns. This paper discusses certain problems with the use of the production theory and public sector channels and also describes the potential importance of other channels, as indicated for other countries and/or for the U.S. during other periods of time. While these alternative channels may sometimes reinforce the two they frequently run counter to them.

摘要:

ABSTRACTImmigrants' attachments to home and their assimilation into the host society have been identified as major factors influencing international return migration. This paper provides an empirical analysis of the determinants of attachment and assimilation, with a special focus on the impact of duration of stay. Using survey data on guestworkers in West Germany in 1984 and 1989, the study finds that assimilation increases at a decreasing rate as the duration of stay is extended. The relationship between attachment and length of stay is less strong but shows a general trend of decreasing attachment levels as guestworkers prolong their stay in Germany. The resulting trends for return migration are characterized by an overall decline in the propensity to return as the duration of nationality. Overall, the results allude to the importance of distinguishing between short term and long term immigrants.

摘要:

ABSTRACTThis paper considers frontier migration to the Ecuador Amazon as a multistage phenomenon, examining the entire migration stream from its origins in highland and coastal locales of Ecuador, to intermediate stops outside and within the Amazon, to final Amazon destinations. The approach is one where models pertaining to regional development, migration, and pioneer activity are treated as complementary to one another meshed with a qualitative knowledge of place. It is shown that frontier set element patterns reflect the composite of these models, a maturing space‐economy, and the interaction of local characteristics with exogenesis circumstances representing national and international context

摘要:

ABSTRACTThe relationship between migration and unemployment duration is examined. Standard job predictors of spell length (replacement income, labor force experience, personal characteristics and economic conditions) are included as control variables alongside measures of migration in a Weibull hazard model. The model is estimated using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth. Young adults who migrated while unemployed had longer durations of unemployment than those who did not migrate. The rate at which they found jobs was also linked to how long they had been unemployed, to being laid off, being African American, to going to college, having a mortgage and of national unemployment conditions.

摘要:

ABSTRACTThis study investigates the impale of climate on metropolitan elderly migration rates. Factor analyses is used to identify six factors within a set of forty climatic variables. These six factors, along with eleveit nonclimatic variables, are used to predict elderly in and outmigration rates. Metropolitan areas with muld winters and low average incomes are alterative to elderly immigrants, while those with high rents and cleat dry summers ate likely to lose older residents through outmigration. These findings are consistent with the life course model of mobility, and with the destruction between conservative and innovating migrants.

摘要:

ABSTRACTThe linkage between migration and sector characteristics is the subject of the paper. We analyze the impact of a tax rate change on a location's population and the accompanying, dynamic that occurs in the local labor market and public sector. Local labor market characteristics, tax price effects, and scale economics in consumption of a public good are found to influence the local population equilibrium.
