Abstract: This study examines simultaneous effects between remittance-inflow and education in recipient countries. We employ a three-stage least squares (3SLS) method and find that education and remittance have positive influences on each other. We also find that tertiary education has a higher impact on remittance than secondary education, and remittance has a higher influence on secondary education in recipient countries.

Keywords: remittance; education; migration; remittance recipient country; developed country; developing country; simultaneous effects.
