Kerela's Gulf Connection: Emigration, Remittances and their Macroeconomic Impact 1972-2000
Published By: CDS on eSS | Published Date: March, 04 , 2002This paper attempts to construct a time series estimation of
remittances from abroad to the Kerala economy for the period 1972 to
2000. It is now widely acknowledged that foreign remittances in the
economy of the State of Kerala in India in the form of money sent by its
workers in the Gulf countries play a crucial role. The study finds that by
the early nineties remittances to the Kerala economy assumed a
significant share of state income. [Working Paper No. 328]
