Annotation
While remittances belong to one of the most examined topics in international finance and development economics literature, there is ongoing controversy regarding measurement errors, identiying key determinants and understanding their contribution to economic growth (Lucas and Stark, 1985; Schiopu and Siegfried, 2006; Carling, 2006; Adams, 2009; De, et al. 2019; Yoshino, et al., 2020; and and Bidawi, et al. 2022). The aim of this dissertaion is to reexamine the key drivers of remittance inflows in light of recently changing macroeconomic landscape following the 2008-2009 financial crisis as well as the Covid-19 pamdemic that affect both the size of labor migration and the corresponding remittance inflows.
