title: The effects of migration and remittances on inequality in rural Pakistan.
abstract: The author presents "a framework for analysing the impact of internal and international remittances on rural income distribution. This framework uses predicted income equations to predict (estimate) the incomes of households in two situations:  excluding and including remittances.  The results are then used to evaluate the changes in income distribution that occur when internal and international remittances are excluded, compared to when they are included.... Data come from a three-year study (1986-87 to 1988-89) of 727 households in three provinces in rural Pakistan."  A comment by Zafar Mahmood is included (pp. 1,204-6).
