摘要
论文从政治学的视角,解析了移民汇款及其影响的研究现状。论文认为,作为跨国流动资金的重要组成部分,移民汇款首先受到了经济学者的关注。2008年金融危机后,移民汇款才逐渐进入政治学者的研究视野。政治学视角下的移民汇款研究大致在道德风险与腐败治理、政治态度与政治参与、移民汇款与民主转型、移民汇款作为影响流入国政策的工具以及移民汇款与汇率制度选择五个方面取得了富有洞见的研究成果,但在案例选择、研究方法等方面还存在不足,导致学者之间存在互相矛盾的研究结论和截然不同的因果机制。未来的研究可以在以下几个方面进行拓展:引入诸如初始腐败水平等新的调节变量;探讨政府的政策设计如何改变移民的寄汇策略和居民的汇款使用策略以及由此产生的影响;融合经济学领域不同汇率制度如何调节移民汇款与宏观政策目标之间关系的研究成果;结合米格代尔的国家—社会关系理论提出更具一般性的分析框架和解释力更强的研究结论。
Using a political studies approach,this paper examines existing research on migrants’remittances and its impacts.Economists first paid attention to remittances as an important element of international capital flows.After the outbreak of the financial crisis in 2008,political scientists began to enter the field,in which they have reached insightful understandings in five areas associated with remittances:moral hazard and political corruption,migrants’political attitudes and democratization,policy-making in recipient countries,and nation states’choices of exchange rate regime.Nevertheless,the political scientists’work is also somehow problematic,for their case studies and research methodology are limited;thus some researchers may draw conclusions contradictory to others.Future research may point to new areas,for instance,an introduction of new variables such as’initial corruption level’,governmental intervention in migrants’remittance strategies,integrative research of macro-economics and exchange rate regimes,and applications of Migdal’s state-social relationship theory to develop more powerful conceptual frameworks.
