我们研究了汇款对多米尼加共和国儿童入学率的影响，为了将汇款的影响与有时同时发生的家庭移民的影响分离开来，我们将重点放在目前没有成员居住在美国的家庭中的儿童身上，而女孩的入学率随着汇款的收到而上升，中学适龄儿童和年幼的兄弟姐妹是最明显从汇款中获益的群体当我们将样本扩大到包括家庭成员居住在国外的儿童时，它消除了汇款的积极作用(C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd All rights reserved
We examine the impact of remittances on children s school attendance in the Dominican Republic To isolate the effect of remittances from the effect of sometimes concurrent household out migration we focus on children in households without members currently residing in the United States While girls school attendance rises with the receipt of remittances secondary school age children and younger siblings are the ones who most decidedly gain from remittances Additionally we find that migration negatively impacts the school attendance of children as It eliminates the positive effect of remittances when we expand the sample to include children in house holds with members residing abroad (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd All rights reserved
