Abstract
â¶ This paper examines the saving and remittance behaviors of repeat migrants. â¶ The results show that males are more likely to repeat migration, compared with their female counterparts. Repeat migration is strongly correlated with age, an inverted U-shape. â¶ Repeat migrants are less likely to send remittances, but more likely to save. This finding is consistent with what the remittance decay hypothesis suggests.
