Abstract
This study examines the relationship between reception of remittances and CCT participation.
Three hypotheses, predicting a negative relationship between remittances and CCTs, are
presented. These are tested by logit regressions based on data from national household surveys
from four Latin American countries. The study finds some support for a negative correlation
between remittances and CCT participation, but lack of data restricts the possibility of drawing
firm conclusions from the study.
