Migration experiences are often
associated with some sort of transnational economic activity
which connects the past and the present of migrants abroad,
and specifically with remittances. Motivations to send money
at origin have been deeply investigated at the micro as well
as at the macro level, as remittances can affect recipient
households’ well-being, investment and consumption levels in
the receiving countries and play an insurance role against
external shocks. This paper contributes to the literature on
migrants’ remittances providing evidence for migrants from
Morocco, Peru and Romania, three traditional labor-exporting
countries with a medium level of economic development, from
three different geographical areas and with different
migration patterns to Italy. Exploiting a relatively rich,
albeit small-scale, dataset we analyze the spatial
distribution of migrants’ nuclear families and households
and we build three different migratory profiles, Loners,
Pioneers and followers, characterized by the timing and
sequence of the migration event with respect to the rest of
the nuclear family. Then author test a negative binomial
model to describe the variation in the variable ‘remittances
amount’. Beyond cross-country variations and after
controlling for the most commonly used individual
demographic and economic characteristics, our analysis
consistently clusters migrants according to their family and
household structure in Italy and abroad to explain the total
amount of remittances sent to the origin country. |
