Abstract: We use a time-series dataset to examine the relationship between remittances and calorie intake in Bangladesh over the period between 1976 and 2013. We employ the Johansen cointegration and Toda-Yamamoto causality tests and arrive at two key results. First, we find evidence of long run cointegration between remittances, calorie consumption, and other control variables. Second, the Toda-Yamamoto test supports the finding of unidirectional causality, running from remittances to calorie intake. Our results have important policy implications for Bangladesh and other remittance-receiving developing countries.
