Return Migration, Investment in Children, and Intergenerational Mobility
研究父亲为移民或本土出生的父子对中，父亲回流概率如何影响对儿子的教育投资及儿子永久工资，发现父亲永久移民概率越高，对儿子的教育投资和儿子永久工资也越高。
Abstract This paper studies parental investment in education and intergenerational earnings mobility for father-son pairs with native- and foreign-born fathers. We illustrate within a simple model that for immigrants, investment in their children is related to their return migration probability. In our empirical analysis, we include a measure for return probabilities, based on repeated information about migrants’ return intentions. Our results suggest that educational investments in the son are positively associated with a higher probability of a permanent migration of the father. We also find that the son’s permanent wages are positively associated with the probability of the father’s permanent migration.
