| Abstract | This note draws a parallel between a venture entrepreneur developing her high-risk high return venture with the help of a network of professional service providers and investors and a diaspora member constructing, with support of her own problem-solving networks, a portfolio of project with her home countrys institutions. Such a portfolio may consist of three segments: low risk- low impact initiative; medium risk- medium-impact; high risk, high impact. Such a portfolio-based approach to home country- diaspora interactions allows for the perfect combination of policies and programs to promote home country development, and enables policy-makers to engage in a process of natural experimentation, introducing and observing variation in the policy context, economic outcomes, and the connection between them. The key question for policy makers and donors is how they can support, i.e. help to design, finance, and grow such portfolios of projects of diaspora members in their home countries. |
