AB  - Push and pull factors are involved in decision making process of rural-urban migration. 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.

N2  - Köyden kente göçün karar verme sürecinde itme ve çekme faktörleri etkilidir. Kentsel kaynaklarda genel giderlerin artmasına ek olarak, kırsal göçmenler tarımsal verimliliğin azalmasına neden olmaktadır. Bu çalışma köyden kente göçün ürün verimliliğindeki etkilerini saptamak amacıyla hazırlanmıştır. Kuzey Pencap’tan kesit veriler toplanmıştır. Göçün ürün verimliliği üzerine etkilerini belirlemek için Cobb-Douglas üretim fonksiyonu kullanılmıştır. Buğday verimliliği köyden kente göçten olumlu olarak etkilenirken pamuk verimliliği köyden kente göçten olumsuz etkilenmiştir
