This paper uses empirical data to analyze the impact of remittances on agriculture and livestock investments in rural Mexico. The results show that international migration has a significantly positive effect on accumulated agricultural assets, but not on livestock capital. The author argues that the impact on investment depends on the point in the life-cycle where migration occurs, and that market integration remains the strongest driver of agricultural investment.
