title: Workers remittances and the real exchange rate:  a quantitative framework.
abstract: "Workers' remittances represent a sizeable component of international trade flows in goods and services.  The paper tries to assess to what extent workers remittances are responsive to key macroeconomic variables.... Econometric estimation of a remittance equation for a sample of five Mediterranean countries indicates that the real exchange rate is indeed a significant determinant of remittances."
