摘要

汇款的经济和社会后果正在引起学者和政策制定者的更多关注。本研究调查了国际汇款如何影响菲律宾这个高度外移和依赖汇款的国家的收入不平等。本研究表明，不平等-汇款关系呈倒u形，表明汇款只有在达到阈值水平后才具有收入均衡效应，从而验证了汇款库兹涅茨曲线的存在。这些发现对于各种衡量收入不平等的方法都是强有力的。此外，Lind和Mehlum(2010)对不平等与汇款之间的反u型模式的检验也验证了这种非线性。

Remittances and income inequality in the Philippines

The economic and social consequences of remittances are attracting greater attention from scholars and policymakers. This study investigates how international remittances affect income inequality in a highly out-migration and remittance-dependent country, the Philippines. This study shows that the inequality-remittances nexus is inverse U-shaped, suggesting that remittances have an income-equalising effect only after a threshold level, validating the existence of a remittance Kuznets Curve. The findings are robust to various measures of income inequality. Also, Lind and Mehlum's (2010) test of an inverse U-pattern between inequality and remittances verifies this non-linearity.
