abstract: 'After the eastern expansion of the European Union (EU), a large number
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
of emigrants left their home countries to work in economically better
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
developed western member states. Hungary followed this EU emigration
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
trend with a certain time lag. However, the rising number of emigrants
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
caused structural problems in the domestic labour market. A
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
comprehensive examination of intra-EU remittances as one of the major
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
determinants of migration has been outside the scope of recent research
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
activity. The data from the Hungarian Microcensus survey and the first
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Hungarian household survey focusing on the topic of remittances can
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
provide a valuable case study of intra-EU private transfer flows.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The aims of this study are twofold. On the one hand we intend to provide
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
empirical evidence for the major factors that determine remittance
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
propensity by calculating probit regressions. On the other hand, OLS
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
regressions are calculated in order to introduce variables which are
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
associated with money transfers. These results are interpreted within
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the theoretical framework of the New Economics of Labour Migration
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(NELM) to identify the underlying motivations for remittances. The most
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
important findings are that older men with vocational school education
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
have the highest remittance propensity, and the likelihood of sending
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
private support is higher among short-term migrants. As the key factors,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the income of the sender person is positively associated with the sum of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
money flows, while the income of the receiving household is negatively
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
associated. Within the theoretical framework of NELM, these results
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
favour the dominance of altruistic motives, since supporting the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
household members who remain behind seems to be the major driving force.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
However, when intentions of returning home are considered in the models,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
it seems that self-interest might also play a role as a driver of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
remittances. Within this study, the main focus was on the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
characteristics of the senders, meaning that a possible field of future
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
research could be an examination of these questions from the perspective
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
of remittance receiver households.'
