This paper uses a new cross-sectional data set of Romanian emigrants to find which factors are related to plans to return home permanently. The analysis pays particular attention to differences in expected earnings and skills and training acquired as a migrant. The study finds that higher expected earnings in Romania and investment in Romanian firms are positively correlated with plans to return migrate. Policies that boost productivity and therefore wages as well as policies that improve the business climate could therefore encourage Romanian migrants to return to Romania, moderating the negative consequences of the declining and aging population, and increasing the skill stock of the Romanian labor force. 2015-02-03T15:40:42Z 2015-02-03T15:40:42Z 2015-01 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2015/01/23840410/intentions-return-evidence-romanian-migrants http://hdl.handle.net/10986/21386 English en_US Policy Research Working Paper;No. 7166 CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank Group, Washington, DC Publications & Research Publications & Research :: Policy Research Working Paper Europe and Central Asia Romania
