Drivers and Dynamics of Internal and International Remittances
利用2007-2008年印度全国抽样调查数据，分析家庭内部汇款额如何随移民离家时间变化，发现汇款呈M形曲线，且国际汇款比国内汇款波动更大。
This article analyses whether and how intra-household remittance volumes vary with the length of a migrant's absence, and whether the drivers and dynamics of remittance decay depend on the migrant's destination. We address these questions by using data from the 64th round of the Indian National Sample Survey, conducted between July 2007 and June 2008. We find that the average intra-household remittance function follows a curvilinear trajectory that is best approximated by a quartic (M-shaped) specification. The volatility of intra-household remittances is distinct across migration destinations, with international remittance flows being more volatile than internal intra-state or inter-state flows.
