This study provides novel evidence on the effects of emigration on pro-environmental behaviour back home. Focusing on the seven successor states of former Yugoslavia, I explore the relationship between people's present-day pro-environmental action and the local-level intensity of a major guestworker emigration wave that occurred four decades earlier. I find that more intense local-level emigration is associated with a lower likelihood of pro-environmental action; the instrumental variable analysis supports the causal nature of this relationship. This finding supports the conjecture that emigration contributes to greater consumerism at home and therefore reduces pro-environmental behaviour. At the same time, controlling for the intensity of local-level emigration, a higher proportion of women in the local migrant population is associated with a greater likelihood of pro-environmental action. As women are generally more likely to undertake pro-environmental behaviour as well as transfer new norms and practices across borders, this finding supports the hypothesis that migration contributes to a cross-border transmission of pro-environmental norms and practices.

移民会影响回国的亲环境行为吗?长期的、地方层面的观点

这项研究为移民对家乡的亲环境行为的影响提供了新的证据。以前南斯拉夫的七个继承国为重点,我探讨了人们当今的环保行动与四年前发生的主要客工移民潮在地方层面的强度之间的关系。我发现更激烈的地方移民与环保行动的可能性较低有关;工具变量分析支持这种关系的因果性质。这一发现支持了这样一个猜想,即移民有助于提高国内的消费主义,从而减少亲环境行为。同时,控制本地移民的强度,当地移民人口中妇女比例越高,就越有可能采取环保行动。由于女性通常更有可能采取有利于环境的行为以及跨境转移新的规范和做法,这一发现支持这样一种假设,即移民有助于促进环保规范和做法的跨境传播。
