Abstract(s)
Em Cabo Verde, o estudo das remessas de emigrantes ganha um cunho especial, uma vez que se trata de um fluxo financeiro deveras importante quando se pretende compreender o crescimento económico de um arquipélago de parcos recursos e dependente do exterior como é o caso. Neste trabalho procura-se efectuar uma análise exaustiva das remessas de emigrantes em Cabo Verde e estudar a sua evolução ao longo das últimas décadas. Em particular, neste estudo propõem-se demonstrar a importância das remessas de emigrantes na economia cabo-verdiana e perceber em que moldes as remessas concorrem para o crescimento económico do país. Para o efeito, recorre-se a estimação do modelo do Vector Auto-regressivo, onde é investigado os efeitos das remessas de emigrantes na economia cabo-verdiana através das funções de resposta do Produto Interno Bruto (PIB) a impulso das remessas. Os resultados obtidos são satisfatórios à luz da teoria económica e sugerem que a abordagem utilizada é consistente com o comportamento da economia cabo-verdiana. Segundo estes resultados, os choques nas remessas de emigrantes são significativos e afectam permanentemente o PIB cabo-verdiano.
For Cape Verde, the study of emigrants remittances gains an added interest since it represents an important financial flow for anyone interested in understanding the economfc growthTof this island economy, deprived of natural resources and dependent of external resource to finance its development. This paper analyses in great details the emigrant remittances in Cape Verde and studies it's evolution for the last two decades. In particular, this work seeks to prove the importance of emigrant remittances for the Cape Verde economy and tries to explain to what extent, remittances can contribute to economic growth of the country. In order to answer this question, a vector autoregressive model is applied, where the benefits of emigrant remittances for the Cape Verde economy is investigated by analysing impulse response function of GDP to remittances. The econometric results are satisfactory and in line with economic theory and suggest that the methodology applied is consistent with the behaviour of Cape Verde economy. According to these findings, a shock emanating from emigrants remittances affects permanently the Cape-Verde GDP.
