内容摘要：Based on a transnational genealogy of a Chinese clan, this study constructs an individual-level dataset spanning five centuries to examine the determinants and impacts of overseas migration and the impacts of migration on migrant households across generations. We document that household structure, kinship networks, and external macro shocks significantly influence individual's probability of overseas migration. To address the potential endogeneity of migration decision, we construct an instrumental variable for migration status based on the combination of push and pull factors. The IV estimates suggest that migration increases the probability of marriage and fertility of first- and second-generation migrants, indicating their improved socioeconomic conditions, but the benefits from migration largely disappears among later-generation migrants. First-generation migrants contributed more donations to the clan, which had a spillover effect on close relatives who stayed in China.
