migrants regarding non-migrants. We develop a static model of asymmetric information that contrasts altruism, pressure and … exchange as motives to transfer. The model makes predictions about the correlations between misperceptions and transfers under … these competing explanations. Testing these predictions in the data gives support to the model of transfers under pressure …

We provide a direct test of the impact of altruism on remittances. From a sample of 105 male migrant workers from … use it as a proxy for altruism. When the entire sample is considered, we find that only migrants' income robustly explains … remittances. Altruism does not seem to matter. However, we document a strong positive relationship between altruism and …

transfers may be driven not only by altruism, but also by exchange considerations. We use data from the Survey of Health, Ageing … from parents to children and time transfers from children to parents, the empirical evidence rejects pure altruism in favor …This paper investigates what motivates intergenerational time and money transfers. We consider a model in which …
