Abstract

Este estudio analiza las relaciones entre los emigrantes colombianos y su país de origen. Los autores estudian el fenómeno de la emigración con base en una encuesta sobre actitudes, opiniones y hábitos de los emigrantes y utilizan un modelo probabilístico y un modelo lineal. En particular, analizan los factores que afectan las remesas, cuantifican las conexiones de los emigrantes con Colombia, analizan los factores que las determinan y analizan los factores que influyen sobre el deseo de regresar al país. El estudio concluye que: i) el envío de remesas no parece disminuir con el tiempo de residencia en el exterior, ii) las conexiones de los emigrantes (tanto con su país como con sus compatriotas) también tienden a ser persistentes e incluso aumentan durante los años iniciales de residencia en el exterior, iii) el deseo de retorno cae durante los primeros años pero luego se estabiliza en niveles superiores a 50%, y iv) los emigrantes residentes en los Estados Unidos y España son no sólo más propensos a enviar remesas, sino también a incurrir en prácticas transnacionales.
