Abstract

The economics of Tonga and Western Samoa are heavily dependent on worker remittances and their economic impacts, specifically their impacts on productive capacity, labour supply, income distribution, and their distortionary effects on the economy. Forecasts of future migration and remittances are presented and public policy options to influence and manage Hows are discussed.
