| Abstract: | This paper studies the educational investment decisions of returning migrants
while abroad in the context of their decisions about the choice of activity upon
returning and the duration of migration. The theoretical model builds on
Dustmann (1999), Dustmann and Kirchkamp (1992) and Mesnard (2004).
Using data from the MIREM database we explore whether the type of skills
acquired by migrants while abroad is related to the activity chosen upon return
and the duration of migration. The results suggest that the type of
education plays a significant role in the migration decisions of those
returning as wage earners or self-employed. |
