Land holdings, living standards, and labour supply functions: Evidence from a poor agrarian economy
通过实证数据，发现欠发达国家农业劳动供给曲线并非传统认为的向后弯曲，而是因工人经济地位和村庄发展水平不同而呈现正斜率或负斜率。
Recent empirical studies of labour supply in LDC agriculture show both positive‐ and negative‐sloping curves, contrary to the traditional claims that such functions are backward‐bending. In this study, the causes for these differing results are traced empirically to the economic status of workers and the level of development of their villages, in sharp contrast to prior assertions that workers in developing nations are limited by low aspirations.
