| Emigrant remittances -- Mexico -- 2000 -- Econometric models | |
| In this paper I disentangle the effects of migration and remittances on human capital using a large data base which includes information on both the reception of remittances and the existence of migrants in the household. I am able to identify an income effect which is positive and statistically significant, as well as a negative substitution effect which is also significant. I also find that the combined effect of migration and remittances is positive for households where the migrant left less than five years ago, but that the combined effect is negative for households where the migrant left more than five years ago. Therefore, they reveal a negative interaction with time. These results are obtained using instrumental variables, based on state migration rates, municipality migration rates and the fraction of households that receive remittances at the municipality level. | |
