Abstract

This paper explores the impact of domestic and international cash transfers on poverty and household resilience in Togo from a comparative perspective. The paper uses data from two household surveys (The Unified Questionnaire of Basic Well-being Indicators) conducted by the National Institute of Statistics Economic and Demographic Studies of Togo in 2011 and 2015. The analysis uses the propensity score matching method and the quantile instrumental regression. The first category of results shows that migrants’ external and internal remittances positively affect poverty and inequality and improve households’ investments in Togo. The second category of results allows concluding on the implications for public policy in a time of pandemic shock, such as the Sars-Cov-2 one.JEL: O12; O38; O55
