| Title | DO MIGRANT REMITTANCES RESHAPE EXPENDITURES IN HOUSEHOLDS? THE CASE OF MOLDOVA |
| Summary | The objective of this paper is to present microeconomic evidence on the effects of migrant remittances on the expenditure patterns of Moldovan households. It makes use of a detailed household survey from 2006 conducted by CBS AXA Consultancy and analyzes the effect remittances play on the different expenditure categories of the budgets of the households. Contrary to other studies, this study finds that households receiving remittances spend, on average and ceteris paribus, a larger share of their budget on consumption food and utilities, and a smaller share on consumer goods than do households receiving no remittances |
