Abstract

The purpose of this article was to analyzed the behavior of remittances from Spain and the US to Colombia in the last nine years, searching specifically what its long-term determinants are. To achieve it, cointegration analysis validated with an error correction method is implemented. It is found that the series under analysis for both Spain and the US are cointegrated, ie there are stable long-term relationships between remittances, GDP, unemployment and the exchange rate, although the rate of convergence between the short and long term within this ratio is high for the US, and slower for Spain.
