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. 000156098 546__ $$aEnglish 000156098 650__ $$aAgricultural and Food Policy 000156098 650__ $$aProduction Economics 000156098 650__ $$aProductivity Analysis 000156098 6531_ $$aMigration 000156098 6531_ $$aTechnical Efficiency 000156098 6531_ $$aAgricultural Households 000156098 6531_ $$aKosovo 000156098 700__ $$aSauer, Johannes 000156098 700__ $$aGorton, Matthew 000156098 700__ $$aDavidova, Sophia 000156098 773__ $$d2013 000156098 8564_ $$927159559-5818-49a6-9dc1-35949e0708c9$$s147915$$uhttps://ageconsearch.umn.edu/record/156098/files/A2-Sauer-Migration_c.pdf 000156098 887__ $$ahttp://purl.umn.edu/156098 000156098 909CO $$ooai:ageconsearch.umn.edu:156098$$pGLOBAL_SET 000156098 912__ $$nSubmitted by Kerstin Oertel (k.oertel@agrar.hu-berlin.de) on 2013-09-03T07:28:38Z No. of bitstreams: 1 A2-Sauer-Migration_c.pdf: 147915 bytes, checksum: 7f89697964804f6655ab2e79a37cbc7d (MD5) 000156098 912__ $$nMade available in DSpace on 2013-09-03T07:28:38Z (GMT).
