Abstract

This paper employs one of the longest time series data sets (1977-2015) from Bangladesh, India, Pakistan and the Philippines to study the relationship between migrant remittances and economic growth. We uncover a long-run positive significant relationship between remittances and growth only in Bangladesh and India. There is also evidence of Granger causality for remittances and growth in Bangladesh, Pakistan and the Philippines.
