Abstract

The literature on international transfers largely ignores the fact that transfers are often given in the form of money. We analyze both the welfare consequences of financial transfers for the donor and the recipient, and their impact on the current account. Under normal circumstances transfer paradoxes do not occur, the donor's current account deteriorates and the recipient's current account improves.
