      abstract = {This paper assessed the effects of migration and  remittances on the agricultural productivity of households  in Tanzania. Using the most recent nationally  representative crosssectional household survey dataset, the  three-stage least squares (3SLS) estimate the model to  correct for the endogeneity of the remittance variable. The  results showed that remittances did not positively impact  agricultural productivity in Tanzania. This finding implies  that the shortage of agricultural labour due to migration  is further worsened by using remittances for household  consumption instead of investing in productive agricultural  assets. Using the NELM theory as an analytical framework,  the findings do not support the argument that remittances  could relax credit constraints faced by agricultural  households as stipulated by the NELM theory.},
