Modelling Remittance Flows in Kenya1

Modelling Remittance Flows in Kenya1 AbstractThis paper examines the determinants of migrants' remittances in Kenya. Drawing on data from Central Province, it compares four econometric specifications of the remittance function, finding that failing to account for truncation, sample selection and identification leads to misleading estimates of the remittance-income relationship. It provides empirical support for the view that relations between parents and their sons are partly exchange motivated. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Journal of African Economies Oxford University Press
