摘要

本文研究了汇款对发展中国家政府人力资本支出的影响。汇款每增加 10 个百分点,政府在教育方面的支出就会减少 0.23-0.84 个百分点。相反,汇款每增加 10 个百分点,政府在医疗卫生方面的支出就会增加 0.99-1.83 个百分点。这些研究结果表明,汇款促使政府将教育支出重新分配到卫生领域。民主政治体制决定了汇款与政府人力资本支出之间的关系。我提出了更多证据,证明在小岛屿发展中国家,政府教育支出对汇款的反应是不同的,这些国家具有独特的特点,容易受到不利的经济和环境冲击。

Remittances and government expenditures on human capital in developing countries

This paper investigates the effect that remittances have on government expenditures on human capital within a large panel of developing countries. Remittances reduce government expenditures on education by 0.23–0.84 percentage points for every 10 percentage point increase in remittances. Remittances, by contrast, increase government expenditures on health by 0.99–1.83 percentage points for every 10 percentage point increase in remittances. These findings indicate that remittances induce reallocation of government expenditures from education to health. Democratic political institutions shape the relationship between remittances and government expenditures on human capital. I present additional evidence that government expenditures on education respond differentially to remittances in Small Island Developing States, a group of countries with unique characteristics that make them vulnerable to adverse economic and environmental shocks.
