The Global and Local: Explaining Migrant Remittance Flows in the English-Speaking World, 1880–1914
利用汇票数据研究1914年前英国移民汇款的驱动因素，通过面板数据和协整分析发现四种汇款行为，支持汇款由汇款人与收款人之间隐性契约驱动的理论，并揭示英美移民汇款差异的原因。
This article uses money order data to examine the determinants of British migrant remittances prior to 1914. Using panel data and cointegration analysis, it provides evidence of four distinct types of remittance behavior, lending support to Lucas and Stark's theory that remittances are driven by an implicit contract between remitter and remittee. The relative strengths of these different forms of remittance varied across the English-speaking world, with the largest differences occurring between migrants residing in America and those in the self-governing dominions. The explanation for these differences is seen to lie in the distinctive nature of British emigration to America.
