Resumo(s)
Can international migration increase labor productivity in the country of origin? Data from a detailedhousehold survey conducted in Cape Verde was used to examine the effects of having current and/or return emigrants in the household and in the locality on the labor earnings of resident families.To account for migrant self-selection, instrumental variables were used, including migration networks and macro shocks in destination countries. The estimated effects are positive and significant for household-and locality-level variation, suggesting that families with migrants and in regions with a higher proportion of migrants tend to have in creased labor income.
