On today's International Day of #FamilyRemittances,
I share recent publications of mine & others on #remittances. I remain critical of what #DeveshKapur called the new development mantra but these transactions can be important for families&communities. https://twitter.com/danaujoks/status/1255311611595829248?s=20

In “Achieving the Migration-Related Sustainable Development Goals” (2018), I spell out a range of policy recommendations for reducing remittance transfer costs related to #SDG target 10.c

A must-read on #remittances is @m_clem & @timothyogden's “Migration and household finances: How a different framing can improve thinking about migration” #DevelopmentPolicyReview (2020) showing important fallacies in the common approaches & alternatives https://doi.org/10.1111/dpr.12471
. @jorgencarling's "Scripting Remittances: Making Sense of Money Transfers in Transnational Relationships." @IMRjournal (2014) is a quintessential reading to understand #remittances as "composite transactions with material, emotional & relational elements" https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/imre.12143
. @m_clem & @dmckenzie001's "Why don’t remittances appear to affect growth?” #EconomicJournal (2018) is indispensable to understand why quantitative analyses of GDP & remittances are inherently flawed and why we need to understand the data limitations https://academic.oup.com/ej/article-abstract/128/612/F179/5089528?redirectedFrom=fulltext
. @SupriyaMelbourn pioneered a focus on social aspects of remittances. E.g.
w @AnujaCabraa in "Contested representations of remittances & the transnational family" (2013)
https://dx.doi.org/10.1080/00856401.2012.710304
and "Sending money home-maintaining family & community" (2007) https://www.researchgate.net/publication/241204306_%27Sending_money_home_maintaining_family_and_community%27
w @AnujaCabraa in "Contested representations of remittances & the transnational family" (2013)
https://dx.doi.org/10.1080/00856401.2012.710304
and "Sending money home-maintaining family & community" (2007) https://www.researchgate.net/publication/241204306_%27Sending_money_home_maintaining_family_and_community%27
. @heindehaas' "International Migration, Remittances and Development: Myths and Facts" #ThirdWorldQuarterly (2005) remains key to open the micro-focus on #remittances to broader questions on freer circulation & mobility https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/01436590500336757
Research on remittances needs adequate platforms.
This year I had the privilege of joining the advisory board of #RemittanceReview ( @TP_London). Since 2016, the journal has been key for global, diverse & interdisciplinary discussions on #Remittances.
