The interaction variables between remittances, financial development and institutional quality are also added to see the joint effects of these variables. The panel data approach used includes slope heterogeneity, cross-section dependence, unit root panel, cointegration panel and FMOLS which takes into account the potential for heterogeneity and endogeneity. The period considered were 1998 – 2019. This study’s outcomes show that increasing of remittance inflows led to decline in domestic investment and confirmed the dutch disease phenomenon.
