An econometric procedure to control for these errors is developed and applied to household-level data from Armenia. We find evidence of systematic under-reporting of remittances. After controlling for this, we find a strong negative impact of remittances on incentives to work. 410 0$aIMF Working Papers; Working Paper ;$vNo. 2008/230 606 $aMigrant remittances$zArmenia$xEconometric models 606 $aHouseholds$zArmenia$xEconometric models 606 $aPublic welfare$zArmenia$xEconometric models 606 $aLabor market$zArmenia$xEconometric models 606 $aExports and Imports$2imf 606 $aLabor$2imf 606 $aMacroeconomics$2imf 606 $aEmigration and Immigration$2imf 606 $aRemittances$2imf 606 $aDemand and Supply of Labor: General$2imf 606 $aLabor Standards: Labor Force Composition$2imf 606 $aAggregate Factor Income Distribution$2imf 606 $aLabor Economics: General$2imf 606 $aInternational Migration$2imf 606 $aInternational economics$2imf 606 $aLabour$2imf 606 $aincome economics$2imf 606 $aMigration, immigration & emigration$2imf 606 $aLabor supply$2imf 606 $aLabor force participation$2imf 606 $aIncome$2imf 606 $aBalance of payments$2imf 606 $aMigration$2imf 606 $aPopulation and demographics$2imf 606 $aNational accounts$2imf 606 $aInternational finance$2imf 606 $aLabor market$2imf 606 $aLabor economics$2imf 606 $aEmigration and immigration$2imf 607 $aArmenia, Republic of$2imf 615 0$aMigrant remittances$xEconometric models. 615 0$aHouseholds$xEconometric models. 615 0$aPublic welfare$xEconometric models. 615 0$aLabor market$xEconometric models. 615 7$aExports and Imports 615 7$aLabor 615 7$aMacroeconomics 615 7$aEmigration and Immigration 615 7$aRemittances 615 7$aDemand and Supply of Labor: General 615 7$aLabor Standards: Labor Force Composition 615 7$aAggregate Factor Income Distribution 615 7$aLabor Economics: General 615 7$aInternational Migration 615 7$aInternational economics 615 7$aLabour 615 7$aincome economics 615 7$aMigration, immigration & emigration 615 7$aLabor supply 615 7$aLabor force participation 615 7$aIncome 615 7$aBalance of payments 615 7$aMigration 615 7$aPopulation and demographics 615 7$aNational accounts 615 7$aInternational finance 615 7$aLabor market 615 7$aLabor economics 615 7$aEmigration and immigration 676 $a304.8 700 $aMelkonyan$b Tigran$01685959 701 $aGrigorian$b David$01685960 701 $aShonkwiler$b J.
