RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Manila to Malaysia, Quezon to Qatar JF Journal of Human Resources JO J Hum Resour FD University of Wisconsin Press SP 1022 OP 1049 DO 10.3368/jhr.53.4.0216.7714R1 VO 53 IS 4 A1 Caroline Theoharides YR 2018 UL http://jhr.uwpress.org/content/53/4/1022.abstract AB I estimate the effect of international migration on the human capital of children in the migrants’ origin country. Using administrative data containing all migrant departures from the Philippines, I exploit variation across provinces in destination-country demand for migrants. My estimates are at the local labor market level, allowing for spillovers to nonmigrant households. An average year-to-year percent increase in migration causes a 3.5 percent increase in secondary school enrollment. The effects are likely driven by increased income rather than an increased expected wage premium for education.
