The object of the research is economic development of Latvia. When analysing economic activities in Latvia during the transition period it is very important to evaluate the achievements of the country's economic development. As a result of the transition period a significant progress in macroeconomic measures has been made: a rapid growth of GDP, a comparatively intensive influx of foreign investments into Latvia. Both practical experience and theoretical thought is currently posing a necessity for a scientific research which would allow obtaining more complete information and revealing connections between problems of economic development and solutions to them. The social and economic topicality of the research calls for an evaluation of the contribution by different social groups and individuals during the complicated transition period. For this reason, to avoid blurring the limits of the research, the subject of the research was defined: contribution by Latvian exiles to the economy of Latvia. The goal of the research is to study and summarize the contribution of Latvian exiles to the formation of the physical and human capital of Latvia and analyse their influence on economic development in the post-independence period. The hypothesis of the research: the influence of the contribution by Latvian exiles to the country's economy on the transition to market economy is stronger if: (1) the intellectual contribution by Latvian exiles to economic development is more significant than material investments; (2) investments by Latvian exiles are aimed at the strategic goals most important for Latvia's economy; (3) business investments exceed the amounts of donations.
