Migration and technical efficiency in cereal production: evidence from Burkina Faso
利用布基纳法索调查数据，采用双自助法两阶段估计，分析大陆内和跨大陆迁移对农户谷物生产效率的影响，发现大陆内迁移因减少剩余男性劳动力而提升效率，跨大陆迁移则因性别失衡且市场环境不完善而未能促进技术升级。
Abstract This article uses a double bootstrap procedure and survey data from Burkina Faso in a two‐stage estimation to explore ways in which continental and intercontinental migration determine efficiency in cereal production of rural households. Findings suggest that continental migration has a positive relation and intercontinental migration no relation with technical efficiency. For continental migrant households, migration has removed surplus male labor, a cause for inefficiency in production. Intercontinental migration leads to a gender imbalance in the household, which cannot be compensated for by investments in farm equipment. The failure of intercontinental migration to transform cereal production from traditional to modern is attributed to an imperfect market environment.
