Abstract
A number of studies have examined why Diasporas invest in their homelands. The reasons include emotions, sense of duty, social networks, strength of Diaspora organizations and high returns. As of late Diaspora bonds have been found to be useful vehicles for channeling finance from developed countries to developing regions of the world.
