摘要
This paper highlights a difference between migrants and the native-born, namely, a positive probability of return migration. The analysis demonstrates that this probability results in migrants saving more than comparable native-born. This differential may explain why, even if all workers are perfectly homogeneous in skills, migrants often outperform the native-born in the receiving economy. -Authors
