چکیده
This paper shall take the angle of entrepreneurship among returning migrants, who face borrowing constraints, to examine whether and to what extent the entrepreneurial activities of returnees a ect the rural area development. In the literature there has been some debate about nancial sector reforms in developing countries, and there has also been studies on internal migration and its in uence. I combine the two seemly separate but indeed in many cases closely related issues in a general equilibrium model.
