“…Those individuals directly receiving remittances live in somewhat smaller households, as regard to fewer working‐age adults . This follows trends reported in Endo et al () citing most Honduran migrants as being male with higher educational achievement. Remittance households are more likely located in urban areas of the North (the cities of San Pedro Sula and El Progreso) (see also Endo et al ).…”

“…We also rely upon data collected after Hurricane Mitch to instrument for the remittance patterns observed in 2004. Honduras was affected by the category IV Hurricane Mitch in October 1998 (Strobi ); economic outmigration increased sharply after this date (Endo et al ). These “environmental refugees” received Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for U.S. immigration.…”

“…Thus the b coefficient on remittances captures both the direct effect on participation and indirect effects such as income changes.

Recipient individuals are much like other members of their households expects as regard to being even older and better educated.…”

Can International Transfers Be Problematic? Honduran Remittances and Labor Supply Decisions

Declining work force participation rates are a potentially important public policy issue for governments in countries with large capital inflows. Here we consider remittances as both a household and individual characteristic to estimate the impact of this nonwage transfer on labor supply decisions in Honduras. Although an initial view suggests moderate reductions across the working‐age population, we find evidence of increased participation through a reallocation of labor time across work categories. Our inclusion of the individual nature of remittance reception suggests less emphasis on the unified household perspective is warranted. (JEL O15, O12, J29)

“…Endo et al . () report that Honduras enacted an AML in 2002 which regulated money transfer companies and imposed know‐your‐customer laws. CEMLA () reports that El Salvador changed its reporting of remittances with the 2001 monetary integration law and 2003 AML, and CEMLA () reports on a number of new regulations on remittances in Peru in the early 2000s.…”

Why Don't Remittances Appear to Affect Growth?

While measured remittances by migrant workers have recently soared, macroeconomic studies have difficulty detecting their effect on economic growth. We propose three new explanations for this puzzle. First, a large majority of the recent rise in measured remittances may be illusoryarising from changes in measurement. Second, cross-country regressions may lack power to detect such growth effects. Third, remittances rise primarily with rising emigration, whose opportunity cost to GDP creates endogeneity bias. Migration and remittances clearly have first-order effects on poverty, migrant households' welfare and global GDP but detecting the effect of remittances on economic growth faces important challenges.
