Abstract: How do flows of monies and flows of ideas interrelate as they circulate between New York, Dakar, and Paris? This paper shows how the conceptual framework of economic sociology can encompass and further conclusions produced by the scholarship investigating the migration-development nexus. A theoretical approach to economic sociology shows that migrants’ financial remittances perform a transnational relational work critical to the circulation of ideas between continents. Bringing together studies of economic remittances and social remittances, this project explores the channels through which migrants’ transfers can influence corruption. Two transnational datasets collected in France, Senegal, and the United States (in 2011-2012) are combined to propose a structural model (SEM). This analysis of the channels through which migrants’ transfers impact the socio-political environment of their homeland contributes to a better understanding of the interrelations between tangible and intangible resources.
