Of course, EA also slipped another interesting piece of info in its earnings report, saying that Origin, its digital distribution and DRM system that lets users purchase games online for PCs and mobile, has been downloaded by over six million consumers and has already signed big publishers like Warner Brothers Interactive, Capcom, and THQ.
The savings incentive associated with increased last trip duration is strongest for migrants who can convert current foreign earnings into a source of long-term income in their place of origin.
Indeed, in the individual-level migration models discussed above, there is no rationale for migrants to share their earnings with the place of origin.
Family members who remain behind (often, parents and siblings) may reorganize both their consumption and production activities in response to the migrant's departure, and migrants (often, children) typically share part of their earnings with their household of origin, through remittances.
In contrast, migrants wishing to invest in their country of origin need to accumulate sufficient "target earnings" before returning (Djajic [2010]; Mesnard [2004]).
This paper tried to control for the influences of a number of earnings determinants to pin down the country of origin specific school returns and focus on the variations that are caused by differences in schooling quality across countries.
Consistent with the literature (Bodankin & Semyonov, 2016; Guo, 2009; Slade, 2015), it appears that disparities in earnings exist depending on the immigrants' country of origin with the income ranging from $78,198 among professionals from Croatia to $49,527 among Albanian professionals.
While migrant workers like Xu Hanping and Gao Jianjun travel hundreds, even thousands, of miles in search of work, their earnings constantly flow back to their villages of origin.
This convergence hides a divergence in average earnings between groups of immigrants with different ethnic origins.
Immigrants benefit from return migration if their accumulated retirement savings and future earnings afford a higher standard of living in the origin country than in the host country.
Improvements in the cargo and shipping businesses in the United States were echoed in strong earnings from CSX, the U.S. train freight company with origins in the earliest railroads to be built in the Midwest.
