摘要

移徙可以在若干方面影响移徙输出国的腐败做法。在本文中，我们检验了接收汇款的家庭是否更有可能成为腐败的目标。本研究利用来自20个拉丁美洲国家的微观层面数据发现，移民家庭被要求行贿的可能性比非移民家庭高出约15个百分点。通过工具变量估计进一步证实了腐败效应。我们的研究结果表明，汇款可能对家庭遭受腐败的风险产生意想不到的影响。过度的风险敞口可能阻碍汇款，限制移民和汇款的积极发展效益。

Remittance Receivers as Targets for Corruption in Latin America

Migration can affect the practice of corruption in migrant-sending countries in a number of ways. In this paper we test whether or not remittance receiving households are more likely to be targeted for corruption. Using micro-level data from 20 Latin American countries, this study finds that migrant households are about 15 percentage points more likely to be asked for a bribe than non-migrant-sending households. The corruption effect is further confirmed by an instrumental variable estimation. Our findings suggest that remittances can have an unintended effect on households’ risk of experiencing corruption. The excess exposure may discourage remittances and limit the positive development benefits of migration and remittances.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Development Studies was the first and is one of the best known international journals in the area of development studies. Since its foundation in 1964, it has published many seminal articles on development and opened up new areas of debate. Priority is given to papers which are: • relevant to important current research in development policy, theory and analysis • make a novel and significant contribution to the field • provide critical tests, based on empirical work, of alternative theories, perspectives or schools of thought We invite articles that are interdisciplinary or focused on particular disciplines (e.g. economics, politics, geography, sociology or anthropology), with an expectation that all work is accessible to readers across the social sciences. The editors also welcome surveys of the literature in important fields of development policy. All research articles in this journal undergo rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymous peer review. Given the high level of submissions, a majority of submissions are rejected quickly with reasons.
