| 研究開始時の研究の概要 |
Although remittances have grown to become the largest source of external financing for many African countries, there is still no convincing empirical investigation on their effects in affecting economic growth and poverty alleviation via the growing ICT-based micro-financial channels. Taking advantage of the recently available datasets in migrants' remittances, this research fills in this gap by extending the Romer's benchmark New growth model to account for migrants’ remittances and ICT to explore the related hypotheses.

| 研究実績の概要 |
During the fiscal year of 2022, our research team conducted interviews with micro finance institutions (MFIs) and surveys of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Indonesia between July and September. Additionally, we continued our work on a paper investigating the impact of workers' remittances channeled through MFIs on poverty reduction, which has since been completed. Furthermore, we extended and updated our research to examine the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the relationship between remittances and resilience, resulting in a survey-based paper that has been accepted for presentation at the 98th annual conference of the Western Economic Association (WEAI) from July 1-6, 2023 in San Diego, California, USA.
