The impact of labour market dynamics on the return-migration of immigrants
The impact of labour market dynamics on the return-migration of immigrants
Using administrative panel data on the entire population of new labour immigrants to The Netherlands, we estimate the effects of individual labour market spells on immigration durations using the “timing-of-events” method. The model allows for correlated unobserved heterogeneity across migration, unemployment and employment processes. We find that unemployment spells increase return probabilities for all immigrant groups, while re-employment spells typically delay returns.

Abstract
Using administrative panel data on the entire population of new labour immigrants to The Netherlands, we estimate the effects of individual labour market spells on immigration durations using the “timing-of-events” method. The model allows for correlated unobserved heterogeneity across migration, unemployment and employment processes. We find that unemployment spells increase return probabilities for all immigrant groups, while re-employment spells typically delay returns.
