许多研究探讨了移徙对原籍国和东道国的影响，但很少有研究侧重于移徙所产生的经济流动的影响，特别是对中欧和东欧国家的影响。在本文中，我们分析了汇款对中东欧经济体就业表现的影响。为了模拟汇款对来源国的宏观影响，我们沿着Mancellari等人（1996）的思路进行，他们通过增加移民来扩展Aghion和Blanchard（1994）的模型。汇款对失业的影响取决于其对生产力增长和企业投资的影响。为了从经验上分析汇款的影响，我们使用1990-1999年期间的一组11个转型期国家估算了一个生产率方程。我们还分析了汇款对投资和消费的影响。我们的研究结果表明，支持汇款对生产力和就业产生积极影响的观点，直接和间接通过其对投资的影响。
Many studies have addressed the effect of migration on both home and host countries, but few have focused on the effect of the economic flows derived from migration, especially for the Central and East European (CEE) countries. In this paper we analyse the effect of remittances on employment performance for CEE economies. To model the macro effects of remittances on the source country we proceed along the lines of Mancellari et al (1996) who extended the model of Aghion and Blanchard (1994) by adding migration. The impact of remittances on unemployment depends on its effect on productivity growth and entrepreneurial investment. In order to empirically analyse the impact of remittances we estimated a productivity equation using a set of 11 transition countries during the 1990-1999 period. We also analyse the impact of remittances on investment and consumption. Our results show support for the view that remittances have a positive impact on productivity and employment both directly and indirectly through its effect on investment.
