摘要：

We examine the impact of remittances on children s school attendance in the Dominican Republic To isolate the effect of remittances from the effect of sometimes concurrent household out migration we focus on children in households without members currently residing in the United States While girls school attendance rises with the receipt of remittances secondary school age children and younger siblings are the ones who most decidedly gain from remittances Additionally we find that migration negatively impacts the school attendance of children as It eliminates the positive effect of remittances when we expand the sample to include children in house holds with members residing abroad (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd All rights reserved
