Is Part‐Time Farming Really a Step in the Way Out of Agricultural?
研究兼业农业是稳定状态还是退出农业的过渡步骤,基于1970年代以色列家庭农场数据,用多项逻辑回归模型分析工作选择,发现高退出概率反而降低兼业倾向。
Abstract One of the most important questions regarding the phenomenon of part‐time farming is whether it is a stable situation or just a step in the way out of agriculture. This article provides support for the first possibility in the context of Israeli family farms in the 1970s. A multinomial logit model of work choices is estimated, including estimated transition probabilities among the explanatory variables. The results indicate that a high objective probability of exit from farming within the next decade decreased the tendency to engage in off‐farm work, especially in a full‐time job, in 1971.
