摘要：where labour considerations no longer matter, the location decisions are
expected to depend not only on a comparison of standard-of-living between the
origin and host countries, but should also be affected by the strength of family
relationships. Assuming that migrants derive some satisfaction from contact and
visits with other family members, we suggest that migrants may choose a third
type of migration move beyond the standard stay/return decision called the
‘va-et-vient’ where individuals choose to share their time across the host and
the origin country. In the empirical analysis, we test the determinants of the
location intention at retirement using a recent data set on migrants currently
living in France. We found that the migrant’s choice is significantly related to
the location of other family members and that those determinants vary with
respect to the different preferred choices.
