Geographic distance and remittances in Romania: Out of sight, out of mind?

José De Sousa () and Laetitia Duval

International Economics, 2010, issue 121, 81-98

Abstract: We analyse the role of geographic distance for bilateral remittances. We use a new data set on bilateral remittance flows from OECD countries to Romania over the period 2005-2009. Contrasting with existing literature, we find that remittances increase with distance but in a non-linear way.
