Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the behavior and performance of migrants in the presence of an uncertain purchasing power parity.We show , in particular, that the impact of the probability of return remains ambiguous regarding both the savings and labor supply of the migrants , this theoritical finding seems to relativize those in the literature on this topic
