8 Macroeconomic determinants Do remittances respond to economic shifts? How do remittances respond in the D.R.? Inflation: an increase in prices affects a household cost of living and thus prompt immigrants to increase their support to relatives at home; Interest rates (lending): as lending rates decline, investment increases; Foreign exchange: an increase in the supply of foreign currency may appreciate local currency. Unemployment DR : downward shifts in employment cause adjustment measures and new forms of income; Unemployment USA : same as above R DR t-1 = CPI DR +HispUn US + FX DR + IR DR (+) (-) (?) (-) [Expected sign in the statistical relationship] Where, R DR t-1 = Monthly remittance transfers to the D.R. (lagged values) HispUn US = Monthly unemployment in the U.S. among Latino immigrants CPI DR = Consumer price index in the D.R. FX DR = Foreign exchange (nominal) in the D.R. IR DR = Interest lending rate in the D.R.

10 Significance: basic support, women, age, income Home country variations in exchange rates and unemployment in the U.S. among Latinos does not have an effect on transfers. Market of transfers occur independently from exchange rate variations: under the economic crisis affecting devaluation, remittance transfers, and the control of its volume by companies, were not related to exchange rates. There is also correspondence between microeconomic and macroeconomic determinants: family commitment will increase with need and number of beneficiaries, and commitment.

11 Economic growth in the age of transnationalism and globalization Pablo Rodas (2000) economic integration is reflected in terms of the commercial flows (manufactures, agricultural products, and tourism) and the flow of factors of production (migration and foreign investment). (p.17) William Robinson (2003) a transnational model in Central America and the D.R. is observed in terms of production of exportprocessing factories (of clothes in particular), transnational services (especially tourism), export of non-traditional agricultural products, and remittances sent by Central Americans working in the United States (p.539).

15 Policy implications Remittances respond to economic indicators, particularly inflation. They also conform to micro-determinants to provide basic assistance to as many people as possible; These efforts do contribute to economic growth and reflect a counter cyclical behavior An economic policy that seeks to increase migrant foreign savings and investment to stimulate the economy can induce a response of remittances to other indicators like interest rates. This also calls attention that remittances play an important role in increasing domestic consumption without dramatically affecting an increase in imports;
