The discussion of the remittance process is broken down into the three operational stages of remittances transactions: the First Mile, when decisions are in the hands of the remittance sender; the Intermediary Stage, comprising the systems that facilitate the transfer of funds, and the Last Mile, where the funds reach the hands of the remittance recipient. By analyzing the objectives, obstacles, incentives, and changes occurring at each of these stages in the U.S.-Mexico corridor, this book presents lessons for other remittance corridors seeking to achieve a comprehensive shift from informal to formal systems.World Bank working paper ;no. 47.Emigrant remittancesMexicoEmigrant remittancesUnited StatesInformal sector (Economics)MexicoInformal sector (Economics)United StatesEmigrant remittancesEmigrant remittancesInformal sector (Economics)Informal sector (Economics)332.1/78Hernandez-Coss Raul1968-1097097MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910968889203321Lessons from the U.S.-Mexico remittances corridor on shifting from informal to formal transfer systems4471671UNINA
