| Abstract: | 隨著跨境移動人口增長，國際間的僑匯金額也逐年攀升，並超越外國直接投資（FDI）、政府開發援助（ODA）成為低收入與中等收入國家（LMICs）不可或缺的外部融資來源。然而，當本文檢視主要的僑匯接受國，卻發現這些國家在政府治理層面存在嚴重的貪腐問題。於是，為了探究僑匯與貪腐之間的關聯性，本文爬梳過往文獻，發現替代效應的運作機制—僑匯的經濟紅利使人民安於現狀，減少監督政府的力道，導致後者從公共服務預算中牟取私利的行為將不會受到嚴厲課責—能作為後續的理論基礎。接續，本文建構一項量化分析研究，並透過固定效果模型檢視126個國家2000至2018年的數據。最終，實證結果說明出隨著僑匯持續增長，確實會加劇LMICs的貪腐情形。在輔以簡要的案例討論後，本文也以巴基斯坦與瓜地馬拉的經驗，反思建立合法海外匯款途徑、促進公民團體監督政府的重要性。
As migration grows steadily, remittance inflows have now surpassed foreign direct investment and official development aid, becoming the significant and indispensable sources of external finance for low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). However, recent trends suggest that countries received amounts of money from migrants and foreign workers are also corruptive. Based on the substitution effect, which explains remittance inflows serve as a form of financial security and thus reduce the recipients’ incentives to hold governments accountable, allowing governments to divert resources from public services into political patronage, this paper argues that remittance inflows deteriorate the quality of government governance and raise problems such as corruption. By using the panel data of 126 countries from 2000 through 2018, the results provide support for the arguments. This paper also structures the case-based discussions from Pakistan and Guatemala, the evidence indicates the importance of sending remittances through formal channels, such as banks or money transfer operators, and monitoring government policies by civil society. |
