Abstract: We analyse the impact of both official development assistance and migrant transfers on civil liberties in developing countries, using a sample of 63 countries over the period 1984–2004. We found that while both larger migrant transfers and larger inflows of aid are associated with stronger civil liberties, workers remittances have a higher impact than aid with no interdependency between the two.
