We investigate the relationship between remittances and migrants' education both theoretically and empirically, using original bilateral remittance data. At a theoretical level we lay out a model of remittances interacting migrants' human capital with two dimensions of immigration policy:...

In this study, the neoclassic approach in the analysis of the migratory movements is taken into a account as a reference to analize some of the variables that determine the volume of immigration in the Canary Islands. A system of structural equations is used as a method. This is a model of...
