Remittances represent one of the most important money flows into the developing world comparable to, and often exceeding, earnings from exports of goods and services and foreign direct investments. Even though importance of remittances in poverty reduction has been documented, impact of remittances on economic growth remains under-investigated mainly due to a strong endogeneity of remittances with respect to both level and growth rates of GDP. We provide detailed look into this endogenous relationship and discuss possible instruments which can help to remedy this problem in IV-estimation. In order to establish a link between economic growth and remittances we use range of instrumental variables encompassing geographical, microeconomic-based and internal instruments. By interacting remittances with other determinants of economic growth we provide evidence that remittances are especially important source of growth in poor countries not because of low level of development per se, but because the effect of remittances on growth is stronger providing level of human capital and savings rate are low and financial markets are underdeveloped.

In this article the remittance behavior of Polish immigrants to the UK and Ireland is studied. Macro and micro datasets allow to observe this phenomenon from both global and individual perspective. The magnitude of remittances is shown in the first part of the paper. In the second part, theories explaining motivations to remit are presented. This is followed by empirical analysis of decision to remit (who is more probable to remit?) and size of transfers (who will remit more?) on the example of Polish migrants to the UK and Ireland.

W drugiej dekadzie XXI wieku w Starych Juchach mają miejsce dwa równoległe procesy związane z mobilnością przestrzenną: migracje zagraniczne oraz migracje osiedleńcze do Juch. Dotychczasowi mieszkańcy gminy wyjeżdżają do miast oraz za granicę, głównie do Islandii, jednocześnie trwa proces wykupywania działek na Mazurach i osiedlania się tu tymczasowo lub na stałe przybyszów z dużych miast. Obie mobilności zachodzą w Juchach na stosunkowo dużą skalę w porównaniu do innych miejscowości z tego regionu, co skutkuje wyraźną polaryzacją społeczną i przestrzenną. Powstają dwie wiejskie społeczności, których członkowie różnią się habitusami i posiadanymi kapitałami: ekonomicznym, społecznym i kulturowym. W artykule przedstawiono wyniki badania zrealizowanego w latach 2016–17 nt. procesów migracyjnych w gminie Stare Juchy. Jak wynika z badań, emigranci i osoby powracające z emigracji nie są agentami zmian w gminie, coraz większą rolę odgrywają za to nowi mieszkańcy, którzy inwestują w lokalną turystykę, ośrodki terapeutyczne, inicjują rozmaite działania społeczne i są liderami w projektach obywatelskich.

In the second decade of the 21st century the Stare Juchy municipality is undergoing two parallel processes with respect to spatial mobility: migration abroad, and migration of settlers to Juchy. Those who until now inhabited the locality are leaving for the cities or abroad, mainly to Iceland; at the same time, properties in the region are being acquired by people originating from big cities who have chosen to relocate here, either temporarily or permanently. Both forms of mobility take place on a relatively large scale, in comparison with other parts of the region, leading to significant social and spatial polarization. Two different rural communities take shape, with members differing in habitus and possession of economic, social and cultural capital. In the article I present the results of a study carried out in 2016–17 on migration processes in the Stare Juchy municipality. The study shows that emigrants and return emigrants are not agents of change in the municipality, while the new residents play an increasingly important role, by investing in local tourism, centers of therapy, initiating a variety of social activities and performing as leaders of civic projects.
