Abstract

This article aims at investigating the relative effect of internal food and cash remittances on household food security. Using the seventh round of the Ghana Living Standard Survey, the study used the Food Insecurity Experience Scale and Food Consumption Score to measure food security. Propensity score matching and instrumental variable estimation were employed to deal with the possible endogeneity problem between remittances and food security. The results revealed that food remittance has a significant effect on food security with a greater magnitude of effect in rural areas relative to urban areas. The results imply that food remittance could enhance food security, just as cash remittance.
