Abstract
This study investigates the relationship between migrants’ remittances and economic growth for a panel of some Asian countries namely; Bangladesh, India, Pakistan and the Philippines. Panel unit root tests were conducted to check stationarity of data. Panel cointegration techniques are employed to examine the long run relationship between variables. Findings indicate long run positive relationship between the two variables meaning remittance inflow spur economic growth in these countries. However, use of remittances in more productive sectors such as infrastructure, education, health might contribute to reducing poverty in the short run in these countries especially in small economies like Bangladesh, Pakistan and the Philippines. Even large economy like India has every potential to be benefitted from remittance income and also from the reverse brain drain that started in India only recently.
