Return Migration Decisions and Declining Earnings
利用美国2005-2007年新移民的个体层面面板数据，研究发现近40%的移民在入境10年内回迁，且回迁前2-3年收入持续下降，表明收入下滑与回迁决策密切相关。
<h3>Abstract</h3> Using a novel panel data set of recent immigrants to the U.S. (2005–2007) from individual-level linked U.S. Census Bureau data and Internal Revenue Service records, we measure the impact of return migration on immigrants' earnings growth and earnings assimilation. We show that by 10 years after arrival almost 40 percent of recent immigrants have return migrated. We show, for the first time, that return migrants experience downward earnings mobility over two to three years prior to their return migration; suggesting that declining earnings are closely related to emigration decisions.
