Remittances and financial development in Sub-Saharan African countries: A system approach (2015, background): “Some studies (Amuedo-Dorantes and Pozo, 2004; Acosta et al., 2009) point out a potential negative impact of remittances on economic growth through the Dutch disease phenomenon (appreciation of real exchange rate associated with resource reallocation towards the nontradable sector). For example, Amue”

Do remittances improve income inequality? An instrumental variable quantile analysis of the Kenyan case (2016, background): “Acosta et al. (2008) find that remittances haveworsened poverty by a smallmargin for countries in Latin America, while Acosta et al. (2009) find that remittances lead to an appreciation in real exchange rates, which has in turn left poor households worse off.”
Remittances, investment and growth in sub-Saharan Africa (2013, background): “…that rising levels of remittances could be harmful to the long-run growth of recipient economies through an appreciation of the real exchange, and resource allocation from the tradable to the nontradable sector, i.e. the Dutch disease phenomenon (AmuedoDorantes and Pozo 2004; Acosta et al. 2009).”

Why Don't Remittances Appear to Affect Growth? (2014, positive): “Through this and other mechanisms, remittances could raise the price of nontradables and allocate resources away from tradable sectors, reducing net exports and thus GDP (Acosta et al. 2009).”
Remittances and Institutions: Are Remittances a Curse? (2008, positive): “However, remittances may also hamper economic growth through a Dutch Disease effect [see for example, Acosta et al. (2007), and Montiel (2006)], and by reducing labor supply and increasing investment risk [Chami et al.”
When and Why Worry About Real Exchange Rate Appreciation? The Missing Link Between Dutch Disease and Growth (2013, methodology): “Acosta et al (2009) use Bayesian techniques and data for El Salvador to estimate a DSGE model of a small open economy to analyze the effects of remittances on resource reallocation and the real exchange rate.”
