The optimal migration duration and activity choice after re-migration
Dustmann, Christian; Kirchkamp, Oliver - 2001
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. Little research has been devoted...

Our findings suggest that returns to experience are substantially higher in the UK … in the UK and 30 percent in Germany.
