Choice of Housing Tenure and Wage Compensation of Hired Agricultural Workers
研究了雇佣农业工人如何在自有住房、租赁住房和免费住房中做出选择，并估算了免费住房的隐性价值（即工人为获得免费住房而放弃的工资）。
been few if any formal academic studies of agricultural workers' housing decisions or of rent-free housing.' This study has two parts. First, the housing decision of hired agricultural workers is examined, then the value of rent-free housing is determined. The workers' housing decision is viewed as a two-step procedure. In the first step, workers choose between living in owned housing and nonowned housing. In the second step, workers who do not live in owned housing choose between living in rental housing and rent-free housing, conditional on their decision not to live in owned housing. In the second part of the study, the implicit value of the rent-free housing in terms of foregone wages or earnings is estimated, controlling for the nonrandom decisions of workers to live in such housing.
