Weather Risk, Wages in Kind, and the Off‐Farm Labor Supply of Agricultural Households in a Developing Country
研究天气风险如何影响发展中国家农业家庭的非农劳动供给，利用印度数据发现风险增加时非农劳动供给上升，尤其非农工作和实物工资情形更显著，反映农户对粮食安全的考量。
Abstract This article investigates the effects of weather risk on the off‐farm labor supply of agricultural households in a developing country, distinguishing different types of off‐farm labor markets. A multivariate two‐limit tobit model is applied to data from India. The regression results show that the share of the off‐farm labor supply increases with weather risk, the increase is much larger in the case of nonagricultural work than in the case of agricultural wage work, and the increase is much larger in the case of agricultural wages paid in kind than in the cash wage case, suggesting farmers’ considerations of food security.
