Agricultural growth and poverty in an archetypical middle income country: Chile 1987–2003
研究了智利农业增长如何通过劳动市场渠道显著减少贫困，并提出了分解农业增长减贫机制的方法。
Abstract Is a reduced share of agriculture in the economy an obstacle for the agricultural sector to play an important role in poverty alleviation? What is the key channel, if any, by which agriculture is benefiting the poor in Chile that would be worthwhile to promote in other countries? By answering these questions we expand the literature on poverty and composition of growth by proposing a methodology that allows to disentangle the mechanisms by which agricultural growth can be poverty reducing. We find that in Chile agriculture plays a large role in reducing poverty, and most of this effect is channeled through the labor market.
