Most research in social science in general, and in the field of migration studies,in particular, encounters the problem of causality when assessing the impactof any variable of interest. The counterfactual approach solves the problemsarising from non-random allocation of the populations under study to control andtreatment groups. In this paper, we present the problems of analyzing the causaleffects of remittances from the Global South in Paraguay, we propose a solutionand estimates the impact on Paraguayan schooling. The main results highlightthat there are no effects on investment in human capital and the potential of thepropensity score analysis
