A panel domestic investment model uses remittances, financial development and institutional quality. 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.
