    Migrants may strategically send remittances, but labor market pooling with other ethnic groups can reduce this behavior. This study explores conditions where strategic remittances persist despite ethnic labor market integration.

    Area of Science:

    • Economics
    • Sociology
    • Migration Studies

    Background:

    • Migrants often engage in strategic remittances, influencing their migration decisions.
    • Labor markets can pool migrants from various ethnic communities, impacting individual migrant behaviors.
    • Understanding these dynamics is crucial for analyzing migration patterns and economic integration.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the impact of labor market pooling on migrants' self-selection through strategic remittances.
    • To theoretically model the conditions under which strategic remittances persist when ethnic groups are pooled.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a simple economic model with two worker types (skilled and unskilled).
    • Analysis of migration decisions (migrate or not migrate) under conditions of ethnic pooling.

  • Derivation of theoretical conditions for the persistence of strategic transfers.

    • Main Results:

    • Ethnic labor market pooling can decrease the occurrence of strategic remittances.
    • The study identifies specific theoretical conditions where strategic remittances continue despite pooling.
    • The model highlights the interplay between migrant self-selection, remittances, and host country labor market structures.

    Conclusions:

    • Labor market integration strategies can alter migrant remittance behaviors.
    • Policy implications may arise regarding migrant integration and financial flows.
    • Further research can explore empirical validation of these theoretical findings.
