我们估计了东道国收入对发展中国家劳动力移民返回的影响。我们使用三状态相关竞争风险模型来解释劳动力市场状况和收入的强烈依赖性。我们的分析是基于最近从发展中国家到荷兰的劳工移民的行政小组数据。实证结果表明，回归移民强度与移民收入呈u型关系，表明低收入和高收入群体的回归移民强度更高。事实上，收入最低的群体获得回报的可能性最高。我们还发现，忽略劳动力市场地位和所得收入的相互依赖关系会导致高估收入对离职的影响。
We estimate the impact of the income earned in the host country on return migration of labor migrants from developing countries. We use a three-state correlated competing risks model to account for the strong dependence of labor market status and the income earned. Our analysis is based on administrative panel data of recent labor immigrants from developing countries to The Netherlands. The empirical results show that intensities of return migration are U-shaped with respect to migrants' income, implying a higher intensity in low- and high- income groups. Indeed, the lowest-income group has the highest probability of return. We also find that ignoring the interdependence of labor market status and the income earned leads to an overestimating the income effect on departure.
