Repeated Circular Migration: Theory and Evidence
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper contributes to the literature on temporary migration by developing and solving a model of repeated circular migration that accounts for saving behavior. Using Mexican Migrant Project data on undocumented migrants and non-migrants, I estimate the parameters of the model through the Method of Simulated Moments. The cost of migration and an individual’s preference for residence in Mexico are found to vary with education. These results help explain heterogeneity in the patterns of migration observed across individuals of different education levels. The model and parameter estimates also allow for the analysis of migration policy. The intensity of U.S. border enforcement is found to have a significant positive effect on the cost of migration. The parameter estimates may also be used to analyze the incentives for workers to participate in some recently proposed guestworker programs. JEL CLASSIFICATION: J61, F22, O15, R23

Drawing on research on narrative theory (Baker, 2006, 2014) in translation and interpretation studies, on the interdisciplinary relationship between translation studies and the visual and performing arts, and on the principal diversities between media discourse representations and aesthetic constructions on the topic of the migration crisis, this study addresses the issue of transferring cultur...
متن کاملActive control vibration of circular and rectangular plate with Quantitative Feedback Theory (QFT) Method
Natural vibration analysis of plates represents an important issue in engineering applications. In this paper, a new and simplify method for vibration analysis of circular and rectangular plates is presented. The design of an effective robust controller, which consistently attenuates transverse vibration of the plate caused by an external disturbance force, is given. The dynamics of the plate i...
متن کاملThermo-Mechanical Vibration Analysis of FG Circular and Annular Nanoplate Based on the Visco-Pasternak Foundation
In this study, the vibration behavior of functional graded (FG) circular and annular nanoplate embedded in a Visco-Pasternak foundation and coupled with temperature change is studied. The effect of in-plane pre-load and temperature change are investigated on the vibration frequencies of FG circular and annular nanoplate. To obtain the vibration frequencies of the FG circular and annular nanopla...
