      abstract = {Kosovo, like most of rural Central and Eastern Europe, has  witnessed substantial out-migration in recent years,  prompting debates on the effect of migration on  agricultural efficiency. This paper addresses this issue,  drawing on a large (n=2217) and representative sample of  agricultural households. A two-stage estimation procedure  is followed: a frontier technique to estimate the effect of  migration on farm efficiency, followed by a matching  estimation approach to robustly estimate the sample average  effect on efficiency for different levels of migration  intensity. Migration has an efficiency decreasing effect  which is amplified for better educated and older workers.},
