Returning home: An evaluation of Hungarian return migration
This paper deals with the Hungarian return migration process and the importance of identity changes for migration decisions. Outmigration of labour force from Hungary and other East Central European countries has intensified after the EU accession in 2004 and 2007. The possibility of free movement encouraged many Eastern and Central European citizens to leave their country; however, this is not a one-way process. A significant number of migrants returned to the home country with newly acquired skills and other assets. The majority of migration theories evaluate return migration by the role of family, motivations or different kinds of acquired capital, but the importance of identity change is less considered. Our primary aim is to investigate the future migration strategy of Hungarian returnees. The paper is based on national policy analysis and indepth interviews. According to our results, interviewees highlighted the role of work experience and family status. In general, highly skilled returnees met fewer obstacles during their return due to higher flexibility and former employer contracts, but family issues might represent more obstacles during the return. Lower skilled returnees were more dissatisfied with their return, especially those who migrated together with their family members. Hence, the chance for another emigration was higher than in the highly skilled group
Az Ăşj folyĂłsĂtásĂş lakáshitelek átárazási gyakorlatának vizsgálata
A magyar bankrendszerben általánosan megfigyelhetĹ‘ jelensĂ©g, hogy az Ăşjonnan folyĂłsĂtott, fix kamatozásĂş lakáscĂ©lĂş hitelek kamatai jellemzĹ‘en csak több hĂłnapos kĂ©sĂ©ssel árazĂłdnak át az intĂ©zmĂ©nyek forrásköltsĂ©gĂ©nek megfeleltethetĹ‘ bankközi kamatok változását követĹ‘en. Tanulmányunkban azt vizsgáljuk, hogy a bankközi kamatok megváltozása hány hĂłnap alatt gyűrűzik be az Ă©ven tĂşli kezdeti kamatperiĂłdusĂş, Ăşjonnan folyĂłsĂtott lakáshitelek kamataiba. KĂ©tlĂ©pĂ©ses elemzĂ©sĂĽnkben egyrĂ©szt a MinĹ‘sĂtett FogyasztĂłbarát Lakáshitelekben (MFL) tapasztalhatĂł átárazási gyakorlatot vizsgáljuk leĂrĂł jelleggel, majd vektor-autoregresszĂv modell segĂtsĂ©gĂ©vel megbecsĂĽljĂĽk a bankközi kamatok aggregált lakáshitelkamatokba törtĂ©nĹ‘ begyűrűzĂ©sĂ©nek sebessĂ©gĂ©t. Az aggregált kamatstatisztikák felhasználásával vĂ©gzett becslĂ©sĂĽnk alapján a bankközi kamatok változásai megközelĂtĹ‘leg nĂ©gy hĂłnap alatt Ă©pĂĽlnek be a hazai bankok által Ă©rvĂ©nyesĂtett jelzáloghitel-kamatokba, azonban az intĂ©zmĂ©nyek MFL-hirdetmĂ©nyeinek kamatkondĂciĂłs adatai alapján a bankok átárazási gyakorlata nem egysĂ©ges, a forrásköltsĂ©g változását követĹ‘en eltĂ©rĹ‘ sebessĂ©gű Ă©s mĂ©rtĂ©kű kamatváltoztatások figyelhetĹ‘k meg
Analysis of the Repricing Practice of Newly Disbursed Housing Loans
In the Hungarian banking system, newly disbursed, fixed-rate housing loans are typically repriced with a lag of several months after a change in the interbank rates, which can be viewed as the cost of funds for institutions. This paper examines the number of months it takes for a change in the interbank rates to pass through to the interest rates of newly disbursed housing loans with an initial interest rate period of over one year. The two-step analysis looks at the repricing practices observed for Certified Consumer-Friendly Housing Loans (CCFHLs) employing a descriptive approach, and then a vector autoregressive model is used to estimate the speed at which interbank rates pass through to aggregate housing loan rates. Based on the authors’ estimate drawing on aggregate interest rate statistics, the changes in interbank rates are incorporated into the mortgage rates applied by Hungarian banks in approximately four months; however, according to the interest rate condition data of institutions’ CCFHL announcements, banks’ repricing practices vary, leading to differences in the speed and extent of the interest rate changes following a shift in the cost of funds
