  1. Notes: The sample is restricted to male individuals who are 20–59 years old. S and RM represent columns for the observed wage distributions of stayers and return migrants, respectively. CF is the counterfactual distribution of the wages that the return migrants would have earned had they been paid as stayers. The counterfactual reweighting procedure uses the full population of stayers and return migrants.
