Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to understand the factors behind international migrationflows. To do so, we present an investigation into the determinants of the Spanishinternational migration flows. We examine the factors behind these flows over time, and whatmotivates return migration. We find that emigration responds to unemployment ratedifferences and to personal disposable income differences in the long run, as well as to rentsand wage differences. Return migration flows seem to only respond to unemployment ratedifferences and to personal disposable income differences. El objetivo de este documento es determinar los factores existentes detrás de los flujosinternacionales de migración. Para ello, se presenta una investigación sobre los determinantesde los flujos internacionales de migración de los españoles, examinándose los factores detrásde estos flujos durante un periodo determinado, y las causas de la inmigración de retorno.Se concluye que la emigración se debe a las diferencias a largo plazo en la tasa de desempleoy en la renta personal disponible, así como a los alquileres y a las diferencias en salarios.Los flujos de inmigración de retorno parecen deberse únicamente a las diferencias en la tasade desempleo y en la renta personal disponible.
