    <description descriptionType="Abstract">&lt;p&gt;The study examined the impacts of remittances on household expenditures and labor supply in rural households in Ethiopia. Specifically, the paper investigates the extents to which receipts of remittances affect the consumption and investment behaviors of rural households. The study employs two-part model (Hurdle model analyses in order to estimate the impact of household expenditure within Engle"s Curve framework .The result indicates that there is no strong link between receipt of remittances and productive investment expenditures. The study finds that households receiving remittances spend, on average ceteris paribus, a larger share of their budget on consumption of food and a smaller share on than do households receiving no remittances. This implies that migration and remittances are used as a short term coping strategies and hardly used as stepping-stone to productive investment options. Therefore, designing policies that increase the inflow and usage of remittances are vital. Policies include: improving the operation and service of financial institutions, providing incentives and training for remittance recipients to be designed.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
