This article estimates immigrants fiscal impact on the German pension insurance and unemployment insurance systems when return migration is an endogenous choice. For this purpose, it develops a dynamic stochastic model of joint return migration and saving decisions and estimates it using longitudinal data on immigrants from five countries. The results indicate that exogenous return migrationwhich has been the practice of the literature so farunderestimates the state coffers net gain substantially; e.g., the unemployment insurance systems net gain from Turks arriving after age 30 falls by an amount that is roughly equal to their annual earnings at arrival.

Analyzing interrelations between aspects of spatial triad in the case of Syrian refugee craftsmen in Ulubey neighborhood, Ankara Ertem, Hazal; Uzun, Cemile Nil; Department of City and Regional Planning (2019) Migration, which aims to seek better living conditions, is an issue affecting many countries today. The places that emigrate and receive migration are affected economically and socially. In addition, due to developing technology and globalization, migration has become one of the daily practices of the societies in this age. Forced migration is another aspect of migration and is on the agenda of many countries due to internal or external conflicts or environmental disasters. In addition, Syrian migration, th...
Reassessing the trends in the relative supply of college-equivalent workers in the U.S. : a selection-correction approach Elitaş, Zeynep; Ercan, Hakan; Tümen, Semih; Department of Economics (2013) Among better-educated employed workers, the fraction of full-time full-year (FTFY) workers is quite high and stable over time in the U.S. Among those with low education levels, however, this fraction is much lower and considerably more volatile. These observations suggest that the composition of unobserved skills is subject to sharp movements within low-educated employed workers, while the scale of these movements is potentially much smaller within high-educated ones. The standard college premium framework ...
Labor market outcomes, savings accumulation, and return migration Kırdar, Murat Güray (2009-08-01) In this paper, I examine the determinants of return migration from Germany for immigrants from four different source countries, and test the savings accumulation conjecture that is used to rationalize return migration decisions using both cross-country and time variation in purchasing power parity. The empirical results confirm the savings accumulation conjecture. Therefore, return migration can be seen as part of optimal life-cycle location choices in this context. I also examine how labor market outcomes ...
A FTOPSIS based occupational health and safety risk management method for identifying optimal safety measures for building construction projects Kılınç, Bora; Sönmez, Rifat; Department of Civil Engineering (2019) The construction sector is based mainly on manpower, and it has high injury and death rate when compared to other sectors, particularly in developing countries, because of difficult working conditions, long working hours and lower qualification of workers. According to the research on occupational accidents, it has been found that the health and safety measures for prevention of accidents are always in the best interest of the company and which usually cost much less when compared with the costs of an accid...
INTEGRATION THROUGH SMALL-SCALE BUSINESS: THE CASE OF ENTREPRENEURS WITH TURKISH “MIGRANT” BACKGROUND IN GERMANY Çelik, Melisa; Ergun Özbolat, Ayça; Department of Sociology (2022-8) Self-employment as an economic activity has a considerable matter in the migration context. It is associated with social, cultural, political, and economic spheres in which migrants and people with migration background are situated. Migrant entrepreneurship as a particular form of self-employment is related to the transnational labour market since it reflects both these spheres in the host country and immigrant networks and organisations within and across borders. In the migration literature, migrant entrep...
