摘要：The economic literature has largely overlooked the importance of repeat and
circular migration. The paper studies this behavior by analyzing the number of
exits and the total number of years away from the host country using count data
models and panel data from Germany. More than 60% of migrants from the
guestworker countries are indeed repeat or circular migrants. Migrants from
European Union member countries, those not owning a dwelling in Germany, the
younger and the older (excluding the middle ages), are significantly more likely
to engage in repeat migration and to stay out for longer. Males and those
migrants with German passports exit more frequently, while those with higher
education exit less; there are no differences with time spent out. Migrants with
family in the home country remain out longer, and those closely attached to the
labor market remain less; they are not leaving the country more frequently.
