“…As a result, cases of patients going undiagnosed, defaulting on treatment, or not receiving adequate care abound in low and middle-income countries. In addition, health care financing in most low and middle-income countries is heavily reliant on external funding, which is primarily allocated to infectious disease control programmes, such as those for human immunodeficiency virus, malaria, and tuberculosis, with minimal allocations to non-communicable diseases ( Kostova et al., 2021 ).…”

“…The interplay between the share of total remittances allocated to investment in business activities and the rest of those resources flows (allocated for other purposes) may cause the endogeneity of the variable to capture the share of noninvestment-oriented remittances in GDP. Donors may also provide higher non-AfT flows to developing countries that aim to encourage investment in business activities as such aid could help, inter alia, to enhance human capital (e.g., Birchler and Michaelowa 2016;Kostova et al 2021;Kotsadam et al 2018), which is essential for the development of the private sector. The real per capita income may also be affected by the share of investment-oriented remittance flows in GDP because the literature has established that the total remittance flows affect economic development in recipient countries (e.g., Le 2011;Piteli et al 2019).…”

Despite the voluminous literature on the effect of aid-for-trade (AfT) flows on recipient countries’ trade performance, little is known about the relationship between AfT flows and other capital flows to developing countries. This paper contributes to the literature by exploring the effect of AfT inflows on investment-oriented remittance inflows, notably through the channel of trade costs. Using an unbalanced panel data set of 106 countries over the period 2002–2019 and the two-step system generalized method of moments, the empirical analysis establishes several outcomes. AfT flows exert a positive effect on investment-oriented remittance flows, where the magnitude of this positive effect is higher in least-developed countries and in remittance-dependent countries than in other countries. AfT flows stimulate investment-oriented remittance flows in countries that face higher trade costs. The analysis shows that AfT flows could be important leverages for stimulating investment-oriented remittance flows and could promote the development of the private sector in beneficiary countries.

Despite the voluminous literature on the effect of Aid for Trade (AfT) flows on recipient countries' trade performance, little is known about the relationship between AfT flows and other capital flows to developing countries. This paper contributes to the literature by exploring the effect of AfT inflows on investment-oriented remittances inflows, notably through the channel of trade costs. Using an unbalanced panel dataset of 106 countries over the period 2002–2019, and the two-step system generalized method of moments, the empirical analysis has established several outcomes. AfT flows exert a positive effect on investment-oriented remittances flows, with the magnitude of this positive effect being higher in Least developed countries than in other countries, and in remittance-dependent countries. AfT flows stimulate investment-oriented remittances flows in countries that face higher trade costs. Finally, total AfT flows reduce investment-oriented remittances flows in countries that experience a higher volatility of the overall trade costs, but boost investment-oriented remittances in countries that improve the quality of trade measures. The analysis shows that AfT flows could be an important leverage for stimulating investment-oriented remittances flows, and promote the development of the private sector in beneficiary countries.
