Abstract
This paper examines utility-maximizing migrants in a system of guest-worker migration. Their pattern of leisure and commodity consumption at home and abroad is analysed and related to those chosen by the natives of the host country and the non-migrants of the source country. Permanent migrants are primarily interested in the real-wage differential between countries, a guest worker's migration decision depends on both real and nominal differentials.
