Remittances and Working Poverty
研究显示汇款金额及其可预测性通过影响劳动力市场动态，降低了接收国的工作贫困率。文章利用国际劳工组织新数据集，提出新方法处理汇款和移民的内生性问题，并验证了结果的稳健性。
This article shows that the level and the predictability of remittances reduce working poverty in receiving economies through their effects on labour market dynamics. It takes advantage of the new cross-country dataset (ILO, KILM 7th edition) containing information on the share of individuals working for less than US$2 per day. To identify the main impacts, the article proposes a novel approach to deal with the endogeneity of remittances and migration. In addition, the results are robust to the possible error in measuring working poverty, to the potential attrition bias, and to the presence of various control variables.
