This paper explored the hypothesis that whether the remittances worked as a cure by decreasing corruption being a political resource (accountability perspective), or remittances worked as a curse by allowing the government to divert spending from public goods provision (substitution perspective). The autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) method is used to check whether a long-run equilibrium exists among selected indicators from 1984 to 2018. The Error Correction Model was used to get the short-run regression results. Empirical analyses have shown the support for remittances being a curse, not a cure for Pakistan in the long run whereas, short-run results revealed reversed resource curse hypothesis.</p>}, number={1}, journal={iRASD Journal of Economics}, author={Alamdar, Anam and Ahmed, Munazza and Jadoon, Atif Khan}, year={2022}, month={Mar.}, pages={88–97} }
