Do Landlord-Tenant Relationships Influence Rental Contracts for Farmland or the Cash Rental Rate?
基于加拿大安大略省南部农户调查，研究非农民房东与租户的关系如何影响农田租赁合同类型及现金租金水平，发现家庭关系更可能采用作物分成合同，但对现金租金率影响不显著。
A considerable portion of North America’s farmland is rented-out by nonfarmer landlords. Our survey of farmers in southern Ontario, Canada, provides a refined understanding of who these landlords are and whether variations in landlord-tenant relationships influence rental contract choice and/or the magnitude of cash rent. We find that crop share arrangements are more likely to emerge among family relations. However, we do not find strong evidence that family relations explain variation in the magnitude of cash rental rates. <i></i>
