In addition to increasing burden on urban resources, rural migrants also cause decrease in agricultural productivity. The present study was designed to determine the effect of rural-urban migration on crop productivity. Cross-sectional data were collected from the Southern Punjab. Cobb Douglas production function was used to determine the impact of migration on crop productivity. Cotton productivity was adversely affected by rural-urban migration while the wheat productivity was positively related with rural-urban migration. </p>}, number={1}, publisher={Akdeniz University}
