The findings thus suggest that the mechanisms through which international remittances influence voter turnout are other than by the substitution of state-provided assistance for remittances.
Therefore, in addition to the influence on remittances of income level and duration of absence, the representative nurse household (i.e. where these other variables are set at their mean values) remits an additional A$1339 per annum, in comparison with A$1196 for other migrant households.
Their results indicate that this situation has a positive influence on the remitting behavior if the remittances motivation is insurance.
However in many situations there is inadequate information on remittances and their use, and hence on their real and potential contribution to domestic economic development and their influence on social change or continuity.
Second, a remittance function was estimated for each migrant community, using appropriate econometric techniques, and which attempts to separate the effect of time from all other influences on remittance behaviour.

Farmers lack confidence in property rights, so they spend remittances on housing, not on irrigation.
There appeared to be a slight variation in remittance behaviour, depending on the future plans of respondents.
A computer system based on Monte-Carlo simulation and fuzzy logic has been designed, developed and tested to: (i) identify covariates that influence remittances received in a specific country and (ii) explain their behavior throughout the time span involved.
