The study explores the relationship between remittances and household debt in Cambodia. Common sentiment identifies remittances as a means of firstly alleviating, and eventually breaking, the poverty cycle through the direct increase of income. Whilst advocated by a large number of global and national development agencies, recent studies into the remittance-poverty nexus have identified a positive relationship between the former and debt: wherein debt itself is a constraint to escaping poverty. This paper employs the special regression approach to build upon the empirical methodologies present in comparable studies. The result aligns with these studies and identifies a positive and significant relationship between household received remittances and debt: thus confirming the research hypothesis that remittances incentivize migrant households to borrow more money.
