This paper anlayzes the achievable relationship between remittances receipt and business
ownership in Colombia. For this purpose, a bivariate probit model is estimated by using the
2009 Latin American Migration Project LAMP-COL14 database, which contains
information from 1198 surveyed households and its members in topics such as gender,
marital status, education level, age, labor participation, real state ownership, business
experience, migration history, region of residence, i.a. Once several of these characteristics
have been controlled for personal household head, household members and regions, our
results suggest that surveyed households who receive money transfers from abroad are more
likely to have a family business. In addition, we also find that the fact that families have their
own business increases the probability of receiving remittances. [-]
