The Impact of Wage Differentials on Choosing to Work in Agriculture
基于行业选择和工资决定模型,研究发现农业相对工资每提高1%,非城市且教育程度不超过九年级的男性从事农业的概率在样本均值处增加3.37%,在整个样本平均增加1.3%。
Abstract Based on a model of industry choice and wage determination, a 1% increase in the relative wage in agriculture increases the probability that a nonurban male with no more than a ninth‐grade education works in agriculture by 3.37% at the sample mean and by 1.3% when averaged over the entire sample. A 10% increase in wages may increase the proportion of those males who choose to work in agriculture by nearly a quarter.
