• Theorising Return Migration: a Revisited Conceptual Approach to Return Migrants (2004, background): “…Massey, by analysing data relating to the return migration of guestworkers in Germany from 1984 to 1997, observed that remitters have higher rates of employment in receiving countries and that having a spouse in the home country increases their likelihood of return (Constant and Massey 2002, 27–8).”
• Social Union, Convergence and Migration (2003, unknown): “However, the simplification is sufficient to make our point about the cost of premature harmonization, and it seems to fit the type of migration that we observe in Europe which differs substantially from the more permanent type of immigration that seems to characterise the US.”
• The labour-market performance of recent migrants (2008, background): “Again, examples include Mexicans to the US (Massey and Espinosa, 1997) and various groups of European ‘guestworkers’ to Germany (Constant and Massey, 2002).”
