    Abstract: In this paper, the authors examine the impact of reductions in barriers to migration on the consumption of rural households in China. The authors find that increased migration from rural villages leads to significant increases in consumption per capita, and that this effect is stronger for poorer households within villages. Household income per capita and non-durable consumption per capita both increase with out-migration, and increase more for poorer households. The authors also establish a causal relationship between increased out-migration and investment in housing and durable goods assets, and these effects are also stronger for poorer households. The authors do not find robust evidence, however, to support a connection between increased migration and investment in productive activity. Instead, increased migration is associated with two significant changes for poorer households: increases both in the total labor supplied to productive activities and in the land per capita managed by the household. In examining the effect of migration, we pay considerable attention to developing and examining our identification strategy

    Abstract: This paper investigates how reductions of barriers to migration affect the decision of middle school graduates to attend high school in rural China. Change in the cost of migration is identified using exogenous variation across counties in the timing of national identity card distribution, which made it easier for rural migrants to register as temporary residents in urban destinations. The analysis first shows that timing of identification card distribution is unrelated to local rainfall shocks affecting migration decisions, and that timing is not related to proxies reflecting time-varying changes in village policy or administrative capacity. The findings show a robust negative relationship between migrant opportunity and high school enrollment. The mechanisms behind the negative relationship are suggested by observed increases in subsequent local and migrant non-agricultural employment of high school age young adults as the size of the current village migrant network increases

    Abstract: This paper examines the determinants of remittance behavior for Vietnam using data from the 2004 Vietnam Migration Survey on internal migrants. It considers how, among other things, the vulnerability of a migrant's life at the destination, their link to relatives back home, and the time spent at the destination affect remittances. The paper finds that migrants act as risk-averse economic agents and send remittances back to the household of origin as part of an insurance exercise in the face of economic uncertainty. Remittances are also found to be driven by a migrant's labor market earnings level. The paper highlights the important role of remittances in providing an effective means of risk-coping and mutual support within the family

    Abstract: Der Wirtschaftsraum in der EuRegio zwischen Aachen und Verviers wächst heute wieder zusammen. Migration über die Grenzen hinweg ist dabei ein bestimmendes Element. Solche kleinräumige Wanderungsbewegungen sind im Dreiländereck jedoch keineswegs ein neues Phänomen. Schon vor 200 Jahren waren sie ein Garant für den Erfolg der Entwicklung, etwa der Tuchindustrie.Die von belgischen und deutschen Wissenschaftlern gemeinsam erstellte Studie untersucht neben den Rahmenbedingungen unterschiedlichste Aspekte dieser Gesellschaft von Migranten. Immer haben die Autoren dabei die Menschen, ihre Chancen und Schicksale im Blick. Sie zeigen, dass vor und nach 1800 im Raum zwischen Aachen und Verviers nicht vordringlich Grenzen und nationalstaatliche Ressentiments bestimmend waren, sondern viel stärker mikro- und makroökonomische Bedingungen das Leben der Menschen beeinflussten.Doch die Geschichte soll nicht abstrakt bleiben: Das Buch wird ergänzt durch eine Reiseroute auf den Spuren der Migration. Vorgestellt werden zudem die wichtigsten Archive in Belgien und Deutschland

    Abstract: The authors empirically examine the determinants of remittance flows at the cross-country level. They consider, among other things, the significance of the level of migration, the education level of migrants, and financial sector development in determining remittances. Given the potential endogeneity problems, the migration and financial development variables are instrumented in the estimation. They find that the migration level is the main driver of remittance flows, even after controlling for the endogeneity bias through instrumental variable estimation. The authors also find that the education level of migrants relative to the population in home countries, the size of the economy, and the level of economic development of recipient countries adversely affect remittance flows. While they find the effect of financial sector development to be positive, its significance is not strongly supported in their analysis
