“…Masron and Wari (2018) interpreted that remittances reduce poverty by increasing household income of the poor and utilising remittances in more productive activities. Similar findings have been found by Bam et al (2016) that there is an inverse relationship between remittance and poverty headcount ratio and poverty gap. Remittances from abroad are found to have a statistically significant and positive impact on poverty alleviation only for upper middle-income countries (Azam et al (2016) while Simiyu et al (2018) found that there were significant welfare and poverty level differences between remittance recipient and non-recipient households.…”

This article mainly explores to what extent international remittances alleviate household poverty in Bangladesh. This study uses primary data collected from 216 households and employs multi-methods. Firstly, I measure the level of household poverty through Foster-Greer-Thorbecke index. The article secondly focuses on the impact of remittances on household poverty using a binary logistic regression model. I found that the level of poverty among remittance recipient households is notably lower than households that are not receiving remittances. Similarly, the probability of a household being poor is alleviated by 28.07 per cent if the household receives remittance. It can be suggested that nursing international remittances can be useful for poverty alleviation in Bangladesh.

“…It can be inferred that remittances received by households are signi cantly associated with their expenditures verifying the rst hypothesis of the study. The result is in line with the ndings of Bam, et al (2016) who assessed the effect of remittances on households' expenditures in Nepal. The result is also related to the study of Mondal & Khanam (2018) who used panel data of 84 developing countries to assess both the short and long run impact of remittances on households' expenditures.…”

“…In sub-Saharan Africa, the remittances effect remains positive on poverty and even more on nancial development (Gupta et al, 2009). Speci cally, on households' expenditures, researchers have found remittances to increase household income and consumption (Bam et al, 2016). According to Castaldo & Reilly (2007), remittance-receiving households spend more on durable goods as compared to non-durable goods.…”

The current state of the art on the relationship between remittances and households’ expenditures has remained inconclusive. This study contributes to the debate by investigating this relationship both in the short and long run taking evidence from Benin. World Bank open data from 1974 to 2019 were analyzed using the Autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) to cointegration model. The study found no long run relationship between remittances and households' expenditures. In the short run, the relationship is found to be positive and significant. This demonstrates that remittances received by households increase their expenditures only in the short run. Control variables such as official development assistance and trade openness used as are found to be negatively associated with households' expenditures. An increase of any of these, does not result to an increase in households’ expenditures both in short and long run. To conclude, the study recommends policymakers in countries like Benin to design and implement policies that encourage remittance inflows (among all other foreign capital inflows) and promote its efficient use by remittance-receiving households as it can contribute to poverty reduction.

“…The tourism industry is one of the largest and fastest-growing industries worldwide (World Tourism Organization, 2017), with a significant contribution to poverty alleviation (Spenceley & Meyer, 2012) and economic development (Lee & Chang, 2008;Sinclair, 1998;Seetanah, 2011). The Nepalese economy is still based on migrant remittances (Bam et al, 2016), and it struggles to reduce poverty. Therefore, the growth of the tourism industry is beneficial (Gautam, 2011).…”

Tourists’ length of stay (LOS) is desired by researchers and tourism business managers because it contributes to tourism earnings. Although Pokhara is a popular tourist destination in Nepal, no previous study has empirically investigated tourists’ LOS. Thus, this study investigates tourists’ LOS in Pokhara, Nepal. The data for this study were collected through a survey of 275 visitors who stayed at least one night in Pokhara. Zero-truncated negative binomial and ordinary least squares regressions were used to model tourists’ LOS and determinants. In general, both methods produce similar estimates. The results suggest that visit frequency, nationality, age, education level, and expenditure are major determinants of tourists’ LOS. Contrary to expectations, gender and satisfaction are not statistically significant indicators. These findings have important implications for tourism managers and policymakers.
