Abstract:

This study investigates the relationship between migrants’ remittances and economic growth for a panel

of some Asian countries namely; Bangladesh, India, Pakistan and Philippines. Panel unit root tests were

conducted to check stationarity of data. Panel cointegration techniques are employed to examine the long

run relationship between variables. Findings indicate long run positive relationship between the two

variables meaning remittance inflow spur economic growth in these countries. However, use of

remittances in more productive sectors such as infrastructure, education, health might contribute to

reducing poverty in short run in these countries especially in small economies like Bangladesh, Pakistan

and Philippines.
