Abstract

Do remittances, that is, the transfer of money from migrants to support families in their home country, have a positive influence on the prosperity of a country? The empirical findings can be summarized as follows: In the panel data regression of remittances per person to the gross domestic product per inhabitant, whereby the control variables unemployment, export, foreign direct investment, gross investment and the influence of the financial crisis 2008–2009 were taken into account, the coefficient of the variable remittances per person is statistically highly significant at 0.026. Thus, remittances have a positive influence on a country’s prosperity when measured in gross domestic product per inhabitant. The results of the robustness analyses also confirmed the positive correlation, which remains statistically significant even if control variables are changed.
