“…The result implied that remittances could increase the imports (for durable products from outside) as well as make a deficit in the trade balance. Stratan and Chistruga (2012) had concluded that the remittance inflows in Moldova might explain the international reserves accumulation as well as put this economy under-appreciation. After that, the domestic economic competitiveness has been weakened and constraining national exports (decreased exports competitiveness).…”

Remittances have been fastly increasing in developing world over the past decades, however, there is only a few evidence about the relationship between remittance inflows on the trade balance in the recipient countries. Our paper investigates the effect of remittance inflows on trade balance with a sample including 17 countries in the Asia-Pacific region in the period 1980-2015, which now is the largest recipient group compares others but there is no study in the region-level. The estimated results of the OLS, 2-SLS and PGMM regressions also strongly indicated a new evidence that remittance inflows had a negative effect on the trade balance of the countries in the sample. Furthermore, our results confirmed that the annual GDP per capita growth negatively affected on the trade balance which implies that the growth of income maybe leads to rising the imports values and imbalance in international trade of countries. However, the impact of exchange rate on the trade balance was a positive one in the case of the Asia-Pacific region. Our paper has provided new evidence which could help the policymakers in order to have some solutions to enhance the efficiency of remittance inflows to the economies in the future.

This article evaluates the association between remittance outflow (RMO) and economic growth in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. The results of this evaluation indicate that RMO Granger creates gross domestic product (GDP) per capita in three countries, namely, Bahrain, Oman and Saudi Arabia. Similarly, the results for causality from GDP per capita to RMO are significant for four countries, namely, Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia. The findings differ from those of the household consumption model, stating that higher RMO will decrease economic activity. GDP per capita is the main determinant of RMO, suggesting that economic growth promises and encourages continuous RMO and vice versa. The adverse impact of RMO can be minimized by encouraging the local population to be productive in the private sector, as local productivity will reduce the huge influx of foreign workers and provide valuable local investment opportunities to lessen the amount being remitted.

Taxonomic revision proves Trachusa pubescens (Morawitz, 1872) sensu lato to be a complex of allopatric and sympatric species in South-Eastern Europe and Western Asia (Hymenoptera, Apoidea, Anthidiini)

Trachusa pubescens (Morawitz, 1872) s. l. has a distribution extending from south-eastern Europe over Anatolia and the Caucasus to Iran and Turkmenistan, and was formerly regarded as a species with high intraspecific variation. By means of an examination of 208 specimens from all parts of the distribution area, covering structural features of the head (mandibles, clypeus), the apical terga and the genitalia, the colouration pattern as well as a morphometric analysis of 26 body measurements with multivariate statistical methods (Principal Component Analysis, Discriminant Analysis), it was possible to assign the material to five species of which two are new to science (Trachusa balcanica sp. n. and T. hakkariensis sp. n.). Two taxa which had previously been described as “variations” or subspecies are elevated to species rank: T. verhoeffi (Mavromoustakis, 1955), stat. n. and T. maxima (Friese, 1931), stat. n. Additionally, some populations can be distinguished by their colouration pattern or by subtle differences in size or body shape, but these features are apparently of no taxonomic significance at the species level. Trachusa balcanica sp. n. and T. verhoeffi have distribution areas which do not overlap with any of the other members of the species group and can thus be characterised as allospecies. By contrast, the distribution areas of the other three species, T. pubescens, T. maxima and T. hakkariensis sp. n., overlap to a certain extent and they co-exist at least to some degree in sympatry. While they have been found in the same region, they have so far never been found together at exactly the same location and it is suggested that species divergence occurred in parallel with ecological differentiation. Niche partitioning such as flower preferences is a mechanism which may be invoked to explain this. Some specimens with intermediate characters were found, particularly in contact zones, and it is thought that some hybridisation may occur. A partly melanistic individual of T. balcanica sp. n. was found, which is probably the first described melanistic individual in the tribe Anthidiini.
