Why do some immigrants leave the destination country and go to a third country instead of returning to their origin country? (Use the utility- or income-maximization model and the gravity model to explain repeat migration.)
Now suppose that there is mobility in the labour market in country Alpha and we are in the pre-minimum wage period. Country Alpha receives migrants from country Beta and these migrants are positively selected. Suppose country Alpha decides to adopt a welfare program to increase the minimum income of its workers. This minimum income is granted to all native workers, immigrant workers, and the new incoming immigrants. Using the Roy model, and ignoring how the program is funded, with the aid of a diagram, discuss how the welfare program changes the selection of the immigrant flow to country Alpha

The economic model of Human Capital Investment assumes that individuals choose their path through post-secondary education based solely on which path will provide them with the highest lifetime income. In reality, individuals often choose a path through post-secondary education that does not maximize their lifetime income, as a result of various factors. Consider Alex, an individual whose path through post-secondary education did not maximize their lifetime income. For each of the following potential reasons, construct a brief story that relates that reason to Alex's choice of post-secondary education. a) Utility/disutility from education b) Relationship between job satisfaction and education c) Uncertainty of different income streams d) Difficulty of financing human capital investments E.g. If the reason is "incomplete information", a potential answer would be: "Alex's high school guidance counsellor gave them a list of potential university programs that suited their strengths.…
