This paper aims to analyze family reunification behavior of migrants whose spouses are still in the source country. Does she reunify? Where? When? It is based on a simple model of a utility-maximizing behavior of a representative household composed of two spouses. It contributes to the family migration literature by allowing migration of spouses to happen sequentially.
