• International Remittances and Income Inequality: An Empirical Investigation (2006, unknown): “According to the theoretical and empirical literature on remittances and inequality (Stark et al, 1986 ; Docquier and Rapoport, 2003 ; McKenzie and Rapoport, 2004 ; Gonzalez‐Konig and Wodon, 2005 ), this relationship tends to be increasing on the first stages, and then turn decreasing.”
