| This paper attempts to examine the impact of various aspects of institutional quality on the remittances inflows for a sample of 114 countries (69 developing countries and 45 developed countries) over the period 1984-2016. We find that an improvement in the index of government stability, investment profile, internal conflict, and democratic accountability significantly increase the remittances inflows, whereas a decline in socio-economic condition and a corrupt political environment increase the remittances inflows. The results are robust to the inclusion of a variety of macroeconomic controls and country fixed effects. We find qualitatively similar results with a subsample of developing countries. |
