However, these negative effects tend to be outweighed by the positive impact of remittance flows from overseas. 2015-09-01T07:00:00Z text application/pdf https://ink.library.smu.edu.sg/soe_research/1869 info:doi/10.1111/asej.12058 https://ink.library.smu.edu.sg/context/soe_research/article/2869/viewcontent/Impact_of_remittances_on_schooling_in_the_Philippines_pp.pdf http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ Research Collection School Of Economics eng Institutional Knowledge at Singapore Management University education human capital international migration overseas Filipino workers Asian Studies Behavioral Economics Education Macroeconomics
