abstract = {Worker remittances constitute an increasingly important mechanism for the transfer of resources
from developed to developing countries, and remittances are the second-largest source, behind
foreign direct investment, of external funding for developing countries. Yet, literature on worker
remittances has so far focused mainly on the impact of remittances on income distribution within
countries, on the determinants of remittances at a micro-level, or on the effects of migration and
remittances for specific countries or regions. The focus of this paper is thus on four questions: First,
how important are worker remittances to developing countries in quantitative terms? Second, what
are the determinants driving worker remittances? Third, how volatile are worker remittances to
developing countries? Fourth, are remittances correlated to other capital flows?},
