Abstract

This paper focuses on the impact of international remittances on poverty in a rich environment. After a careful review of the relevant literature, various pooled ordinary least squares (Pooled OLS), dummy variable least squares (DVLS), and three-stage least squares (3SLS) models are constructed. The empirical results show that gross domestic product per capita, inequality in income distribution, and international remittances have a statistically significant impact on poverty. A 10% increase in international remittances reduced the poverty level of the portion of the population whose cost of living is less than $1.90 per person per day between 0.7% and 1.7%. This paper broadens the existing literature on the relationship between international remittances and poverty in a more comprehensive framework by using a broader data set and different panel data regression models.

Özet

Bu makale, zengin bir veri ortamında uluslararası para transferlerinin yoksulluk üzerindeki etkisini incelemeteyi amaçlamaktadır. Uluslararası havaleler, geride kalan aile üyelerinin refahını iyileştirdiği ve alıcı ülkelerin ekonomik koşullarını iyileştirdiği için literatürde yoksulluğu azaltma programlarından biri olarak kabul edilmektedir. İlgili literatür dikkatlice incelendikten sonra, yoksulluğun belirleyicilerini ve yoksulluk ile uluslararası havaleler arasındaki çift yönlü ilişkiyi göstermek için havuzlanmış sıradan en küçük kareler (Havuzlanmış EKK), kukla değişkenli en küçük kareler (KDEKK) ve üç aşamalı en küçük kareler (3AEK) modelleri oluşturulmaktadır. Ampirik bulgular, kişi başı gayri safi yurt içi hasıla, gelir dağılımı eşitsizliği ve uluslararası havalelerin yoksulluk üzerinde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir etkiye sahip olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır. Uluslararası havalelerdeki %10'luk artış yaşam giderleri kişi başı günlük 1,90 ABD dolarının altında olan nüfusun yoksulluk düzeyini %0,7 ile %1,7 arasında azaltmaktadır. Bu çalışma, daha geniş veri setini ve çeşitli panel veri regresyon modellerini kullanarak uluslararası para transferleri ve yoksulluk bağına ilişkin mevcut literatürü daha kapsamlı bir çerçevede genişletmektedir.
