- Abstract
- Temporary and permanent migrants may differ systematically in unobservable ways (like their sentimental attachment to their origin country or their willingness to take risks) that could drive both their desire to leave France and the behavioural outcomes we aim to study. [...]the intention to leave France may also be the result of a failed integration: an individual may wish to leave France because s/he has not managed to learn French or find suitable employment. Since the data we use does not provide the amounts invested, our analysis focuses on the probability of exhibiting a given behaviour. [...]we look at strictly monetary outcomes and examine the relationship between owning a house in France and successively: remiting, participating in a project and owning a house in the country of origin. [...]we examine the trade-off between non-monetary outcomes: interest in politics in France versus participation in elections or interest in politics in the country of origin.
