Economic Uncertainty and Remittances Flow: Heterogeneity Matters

MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany

Abstract: This paper analyzes the effect of economic policy uncertainty on inward remittances for 138 countries over the period 1995-2018. While our results suggest that increased economic policy uncertainty induces remittances in the long-run, we find that significant heterogeneity exists across advanced, emerging, and developing economies.
