Abstract(s)
As remessas têm sido um influxo financeiro essencial para o crescimento e
desenvolvimento de muitos países. Os fluxos de remessas para os países em
desenvolvimento auxiliaram milhões de pessoas a saírem da pobreza, melhorar a
saúde, a escolaridade e aumentar o rendimento das famílias. O objetivo principal deste
estudo é examinar o impacto das remessas no crescimento económico para os seis (6)
países insulares africanos, usando dados que vão de 2006 a 2019. No estudo estima-se
que as remessas têm um impacto negativo sobre o crescimento económico, indicando
um maior volume de remessas nesses países leva a uma menor taxa de crescimento
económico. Além disso, o estudo examina se uma grande quantidade de remessas como
fonte de fluxos de capital nos países insulares africano pode levar à apreciação da taxa
de câmbio e prejudicar o crescimento económico dos mesmos, um fenómeno conhecido
como doença holandesa. Os resultados deste estudo indicam que as remessas de
emigrantes não têm impacto sobre a taxa de câmbio e rejeita a existência de doença
holandesa nessas economias.
Remittances have been an essential financial influx to the growth and development of many countries. Remittance flows to developing countries have helped millions of people lift themselves out of poverty, improve health, education and increase household income. The main objective of this study is to examine the impact of remittances on economic growth for the six (6) African island countries, using data ranging from 2006 to 2019. In the study, remittances are estimated to have a negative impact on economic growth, indicating that a greater volume of remittances in these countries, leads to a lower economic growth rate. In addition, the study examined whether large amounts of remittances as a source of capital flows in African island countries can lead to exchange rate appreciation and harm their economic growth, a phenomenon known as Dutch disease. The results of this study indicate that remittances from emigrants have no impact on the exchange rate and reject the existence of Dutch disease in these economies.
