摘要

大量文献研究了移民汇款的原因。移民汇款的动机可能是利他主义或保险动机。在本研究中，我首先建立了一个风格化的理论框架，对这两种经常被讨论的动机做出了可检验的预测。然后，我利用中国劳动力动态调查（2012-2016 年）三次波次的面板数据集，找到了在利他主义和保险两种混合动机下移民汇款行为的实证证据。本研究的结论对于理解从农村到城市的移民与原籍家庭之间的家庭关系和风险分担机制具有重要意义。

Mixed motives behind migrants' remittance-sending practices: Evidence from China

An abundant collection of literature investigates why migrants remit. Migrants' remittance-sending practices can be driven by either altruism or the insurance motive. In this study, I first develop a stylized theoretical framework that generates testable predictions regarding the two frequently discussed motives. Then, using a panel data set pooled from three waves of the China Laborforce Dynamic Survey (2012–2016), I find empirical evidence for migrants' remittance-sending practices under mixed motives that incorporate both altruism and insurance. Findings presented in this study are of great significance in understanding family ties and the risk sharing mechanism between rural-to-urban migrants and households of origin.

期刊介绍： The Journal aims to publish the best research on international development issues in a form that is accessible to practitioners and policy-makers as well as to an academic audience. The main focus is on the social sciences - economics, politics, international relations, sociology and anthropology, as well as development studies - but we also welcome articles that blend the natural and social sciences in addressing the challenges for development. The Journal does not represent any particular school, analytical technique or methodological approach, but aims to publish high quality contributions to ideas, frameworks, policy and practice, including in transitional countries and underdeveloped areas of the Global North as well as the Global South.
