Stabilising regional development through re-migration? A theoretical concept and an em-pirical case study in East Germany.
S. 81-95
Migration is an important channel for the transfer of humancapital. A
growing emphasis has been placed on re-migration as a possibility of
re-gaining humancapital. The paper aims to critically review
theoretical approaches to re-migration and introduces a multi level
research concept. This concept has been implemented in an exploratory
case study on the effects of re-migration in East Germany. The paper
presents selected results with respect to humancapital transfer and
gives an outlook on the possibilities to apply the concept on a
quantitative level.
