What drives rural out-migration? Insights from Kosovo
Post-Communist Economies. 2019. Vol. 31. P. 200–217.
Davidova S., Sauer J., Gorton M.
Drawing on household, network and relative deprivation models of migration, this paper empirically tests the probability to migrate utilising data for agricultural households in Kosovo (circa 13,500 observations). We identify the determinants of the propensity to migrate and length of migration in the previous year, considering gender related differences. The results reveal the significance of household / personal characteristics, farm characteristics, and network effects on the propensity to migrate and length of migration in the previous year. However, we find no significant effect of relative deprivation on the propensity to migrate and length of migration. While education has a strong, positive effect on migration by women, this is not the case for men. Unprofitability and a lack of inputs, manpower and equipment, causing farmland to be left uncultivated, also stimulate out-migration.

This paper proposes Covariate-Balanced Weighted Stacked Difference-in-Differences (CBWSDID), a design-based extension of weighted stacked DID for settings in which untreated trends may be conditionally rather than unconditionally parallel. The estimator separates within-subexperiment design adjustment from across-subexperiment aggregation: matching or weighting improves treated-control comparability within each stacked subexperiment, while the corrective stacked weights of Wing et ...

Interregional migration in Russia surpasses both intraregional and international migration in volume, playing a pivotal role in redistributing human capital across the country. To capture migration patterns between regions comprehensively, it is crucial to analyze all migration flows rather than just final migration indicators. This study integrates two research fields: network science, which examines various ...
