title: A behavioral model of international labor and nonlabor migration:  the case of Turkish movements to West Germany, 1960-1986.
abstract: "In this paper behavioral models of international labor and nonlabor migration are presented.  The models are based on the concept of chain migration, where the immigrant stock, differentiated by the duration of stay, induces and directs future migration flows.  Three roles of the immigrant stock in inducing the inflow of potential migrants are identified: provider of assimilation aid; transmitter of information; and source of family reunification.  Operationalized versions of the models are empirically tested for Turkish labor and nonlabor migration to West Germany, 1960-86.  The results support the importance of information for labor migrants, and reunification ties for nonlabor migrants."
