Abstract
- Remittances are flows of money between immigrants and their relatives. A scarcely addressed topic related to human migration is the application of Network Flow Analysis (NFA) in the study of remittances. This study provides both a theoretical and empirical macro-level study of worldwide remittance flows. Theoretically, a remittance model used by the World Bank is probabilistically analyzed and useful probability bounds are derived. Empirically, a weighted graph model built from World Bank data delivers important insight on the remittance generative process, the highest remittance flow values and inflow-outflow remittance variations. This manuscript concludes by postulating that remittances potentially result from a multiplicative process and that techniques based on NFA provide novel ways of approaching remittance dynamics problems.
