This article presents a benchmarking study that identifies relationships among diaspora-related performance indicators. It essentially examines whether diasporas based in high human development index states are directly correlated to high remittance amounts per diaspora member. It also argues that remittances and foreign direct investment are not directly correlated to net migration rates, as may have been predicted previously. A performance functional benchmarking study was conducted to test hypotheses on seven diasporas - Armenian, Lebanese, Chinese, Indian, Filipino, Romanian and Serbian. The results might serve as an informative input for policy makers on diaspora issues.
