Abstract
This paper focuses on repeat migration of migrant workers in China. We explore repeat migration from the perspective of the duration of each migration stage in one’s migration history. The main methodology is a recurrent-event Cox proportional hazard (PH) duration model that examines the effects of both time-independent and time-dependent variables on the potential for repeat migration. We also assess the PH assumption for time-independent variables. We find that the age of first migration, the accompaniment of family members and the types and location of destination cities have significant effects on the potential of migrants’ subsequent movements to other cities.
