THE ESTIMATION OF OFF‐FARM LABOUR SUPPLY FUNCTIONS IN SASKATCHEWAN
构建了包含农场主及其妻子时间的家庭效用最大化模型，估计了非农劳动力供给，发现男性供给缺乏弹性而女性对影子工资反应敏感，为政策制定提供参考。
In this paper, a farm‐household utility maximising model which incorporates the time of both the farm operator and his wife is developed. The model is then used to estimate the off‐farm labour supply of the operator and his wife, and develop policy recommendations concerning further increases in off‐farm labour participation by farmers and their wives. A Heckman procedure is employed to test for sample selectivity bias. The results suggest that the supply of off‐farm labour is inelastic for men but quite responsive to the estimated shadow wage for women.
