The Impact of Remittances on Regional Consumption and Investment
Journal of Regional Science
This paper examines the effects of international remittances on regional economic development using spatial data from an original household survey carried out in the Republic of Moldova. I analyze remittance flows within a model that estimates spatial budget shares of consumption and investment expenditure categories for rural and urban households. In addition, I take advantage of the multinomial logit approach to control for the selectivity and endogeneity biases of remittances. This study finds that remittances lead to significantly increasing marginal productive investments in urban regions at the expense of rural regions. Another fundamental result of the current study is that remittances influence the flight of productive capital into urban regions (a pattern similar to the crowding-out effect of the Dutch Disease). The analysis carried out in this paper can be applied to other temporary income transfers and exogenous spending injected in the region that affect households’ spatial expenditure patterns.

The regional effects of international migration on internal migration decisions of tertiary-educated workers
Papers in Regional Science
This study is a departure from the classic analysis of the effect of international migration on human capital. Using original data from a nationally representative survey in Moldova, we employ discrete choice and count‐data models to evaluate the effect of international migration on the likelihood that “left‐behind” household members with tertiary education migrate domestically. Thus, we propose an original framework of identifying a causal relationship between international and internal migration. The main findings support the hypothesis that international migration leads to an increase in the preference for urban jobs of tertiary‐educated left‐behind household members with peripheral rural origins.
