摘要：This paper employs a newly-available and representative National Income Dynamics Study (NIDS) data of South African households to investigate whether social grants crowd-out or displace remittances.

The coefficient on the social grant is also insignificant in both sub-samples (rural and urban), consistent with the results on the full sample
