PARTICIPATION OF FARM OWNERS IN FARM AND OFF‐FARM WORK INCLUDING THE OPTION OF FULL‐TIME OFF‐FARM WORK
使用以色列数据估计广义多项Logit模型，研究农场主在仅务农、兼业和仅非农工作之间的选择，发现解释变量对不同类型非农工作者的效用影响显著不同，且存在全职非农工作的激励。
The option of working full‐time off the farm is generally neglected in farmers' time allocation studies. In this paper, a generalised multinomial logit model, in which the choices are working only on the farm, allocating the time between farm and off‐farm work, or working only off‐farm, is estimated using Israeli data. The results show that the explanatory variables have significantly different effects on utility for off‐farm workers who also work on the farm versus those who do not. There seem to be incentives to work full time rather than part time off the farm. These conclusions cannot be reached if farm owners who do not work on the farm are excluded from the estimation. The conclusions imply that policy intended to encourage pluriactivity could instead result in increased specialisation in full‐time farm work or full‐time off‐farm work if it does not target the right incentives.
