Remittances and the Dutch Disease: Evidence from the Republic of Moldova

International Economic Journal, 2017, vol. 31, issue 3, 462-469

Abstract: This paper analyzes the linkage between exports, real effective exchange rates, and workers’ remittances in the Republic of Moldova based on impulse response functions through a vector autoregressive model. We find that an inflow of remittances leads to an appreciation of real exchange rate and a decline of exports, but the magnitude is small. Another finding is that the exchange rate appreciation does not affect remittance transfers for the first three-quarters.
