The optimal migration duration and activity choice after re-migration

Christian Dustmann; Oliver Kirchkamp

If migrants return to their origin countries, two questions arise which are of immediate economic interest for both immigration and emigration country: what determines their optimal migration duration, and what are the activities migrants choose after a return. This paper utilises a unique survey data set which records activities of returned migrants. (DSE/DÜI)
