摘要

本文评估了1990年至2019年130个发展中国家的汇款对贫困的影响。研究发现，汇款通过其直接影响减少贫困，并增加人力资本，从而增强汇款对贫困的总体影响。人均汇款增加10%，贫困水平降低1.3%，贫困深度降低2%，贫困严重程度降低3.12%。此外，人力资本可以降低贫困的程度、深度和严重程度。这支持了这样一种观点，即发展中国家应采取降低汇款成本和促进教育的政策，以增加汇款对贫困的影响。

The multiple impact of remittances on poverty in developing countries: Direct effects and through human capital

This paper assesses the impacts of remittances on poverty for 130 developing countries for the period 1990–2019. It finds that remittances decrease poverty through their direct effect and increase human capital which enhances the total effects of remittances on poverty. A 10 % increase in per capita remittances decreases the poverty level by 1.3 %, poverty depth by 2 %, and poverty severity by 3.12 %. In addition, human capital decreases poverty level, depth, and severity. This supports the notion that developing countries should adopt policies that lower remittance costs and promote education to increase the impacts of remittances on poverty.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Policy Modeling is published by Elsevier for the Society for Policy Modeling to provide a forum for analysis and debate concerning international policy issues. The journal addresses questions of critical import to the world community as a whole, and it focuses upon the economic, social, and political interdependencies between national and regional systems. This implies concern with international policies for the promotion of a better life for all human beings and, therefore, concentrates on improved methodological underpinnings for dealing with these problems.
