Abstract (EN)

The Impact of Migrant REM on the Economic Growth of The Gambia, Senegal, Nigeria, Togo, Cabo Verde, and Guinea Bissau The paper aims to explore the impact of migrant workers' remittances (REM) on the growth in six West African countries punctiliously: Gambia, Senegal, Nigeria, Togo, Cabo Verde, and Guinea Bissau; we used balanced panel data from 2004 to 2019. The impact of REM is estimated using pooled OLS, FE, RE, and Dummy-variable Interaction models. In the six West African countries, empirical regression analysis reveals both a negative and positive impact of REM on economic growth; additionally, all West African countries except The Gambia have a positive effect of REM on growth.
