Data and Descriptive Statistics. In this paper I use data from the Territories Labor Force Survey (TLFS) conducted by Israel’s Central Bureau of Statistics (ICBS). The TLFS was conducted by local (Palestinian) enumerators who were employed by the ICBS. The ICBS based the weighting and enumeration of the survey upon an original census of the region conducted in 1968. Because of the antiquity of this census, the accuracy of the weights used for this survey is questionable. Despite this, Angrist (1995) showed that the wage profiles found in independent surveys and those from the TLFS are very similar, lending support for the accuracy of this survey's sampling method [3]. Additional problems arose while administering the survey during times of crisis. With the beginning of the Intifada in 1987, data collection became more difficult, especially since enumerators were working for the government that people were protesting against. Restrictions on travel during periods of curfew also made data collection difficult during these times. Table 1 shows some of the demographic characteristics of migrant, returnee, and non-migrant Palestinians from the TLFS. The first characteristic to notice is the relative proportion of these migrants. In 1982 (the peak year), migrants represented 10.3 % of the 15-64 year old males in the sample. This proportion fell by an order of magnitude to only 1.1 % in 1991, with 1984 and 1987 being two of the years with the largest percentage point declines. The reason for the slow-down of out-migration was partly due to the fall in oil prices during the 1980s, which slowed down the economic expansion in the Gulf and decreased the demand for imported labor. Compounding this decrease in demand, Gulf countries shifted away from Arab workers and toward Asian (non-Arab) workers in the early 1980s [4]. Arabs were seen as potential troublemakers in their host countries while non-Arabs were seen as culturally less similar, less likely to stay, and thus less likely to stir up trouble. Although Gulf countries shifted towards non-Arab Asian workers, the decline in demand driven by the oil market also caused non-Arab migration to peak in the early 1980s [5]. Migrants and returnees were more educated than non-migrants, but returnees were less educated than non- returnee migrants. The average number of years of schooling for non-migrants in 1981 was 7.4 years, compared to 11.8 years for migrants and 10.6 years for returnees. While average schooling for non-migrants increased to 9.1 years b...
