摘要

本文分析了汇款与制造业增加值（MVA）增长之间的联系，并探讨了机构质量和汇率政策是否对撒哈拉以南非洲国家的关系动态有影响。研究结果表明，如果考虑到金融发展水平，汇款对MVA有积极影响。然而，汇款对MVA的单独影响是负面的。研究结果还表明，汇率灵活性对汇款和MVA之间的动态有积极影响。此外，商业环境的改善似乎对制造业的表现很重要，但对汇款和MVA之间的动态并不重要。因此，金融部门的发展成为影响汇款对撒哈拉以南非洲国家制造业增长影响的一个重要因素。

Remittances and manufacturing sector growth in sub-Saharan Africa

This paper analyzes the link between remittances and the growth of manufacturing value-added (MVA) and explores whether the quality of institutions and exchange rate policy matter for the dynamics of the relationship in sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries. The findings suggest that when the level of financial development is accounted for, remittances have a positive impact on MVA. The standalone effect of remittances on MVA is, however, negative. The results also suggest that there is a positive influence of exchange rate flexibility on the dynamics between remittances and MVA. Furthermore, improvement in the business environment seems to matter for the performance of the manufacturing sector, but it is not significant to the dynamics between remittances and MVA. The development of the financial sector, on that account, emerges as an important factor influencing the impact of remittances on the growth of the manufacturing sector in SSA countries.
