Description
The paper aims to examine the impact of migration on the economic growth of Kosovo through the use of qualitative and quantitative methods, including a comprehensive literature review that highlights the complex nature of migration in Kosovo, as well as econometric analyzers (Simple Linear Regression – OLS and Regression through Origin). The analyzed data is secondary, provided by the World Bank (WB) and the Kosovo Agency of Statistics (ASK), covering the period between 2009 and 2020. The main variables are the dependent variable, gross domestic production (GDP) growth rate, and two independent variables, unemployment rate (UNEMP) and migration rate (MIG). The findings show a negative coefficient for migration in both regression models, suggesting a possible negative impact on the GDP. This research contributes to the ongoing debate on migration and economic development, providing insights specifically for Kosovo and emphasizing the need for more comprehensive data
