This paper focuses on the role played by remittances in constrained economies. We consider an overlapping generations economy in which households have access to International Capital Market and the possibility to borrow to finance children education in order to receive remittances. Following the literature, we assume that remittances relax borrowing constraints. These inflows may reduce or increase domestic savings and capital accumulation, according to the level of capital inflows constraint. Because of the OLG structure, the country may either be constrained or unconstrained in the long run. Remittances may make the initially constrained economy converging to the unconstrained steady state.
