Share tenancy, external risk and labour use: A note on Pakistani data
从劳动力市场角度解释分成租佃制度,认为地主监督劳动和佃户家庭非监督劳动是两种不同理由,并用巴基斯坦旁遮普和信德省各区数据验证了该解释的重要性。
Abstract This article outlines a labour market based explanation of the institution of sharecropping. It is argued that two distinct rationales for sharecropping within the non‐tradable labour based explanation pertain to the supervisory labour endowments of land owners on the one hand and non‐supervisory family labour endowments of tenant households on the other. The validity of these rationales is tested at a macro level based on data computed for each district of the Punjab and Sind provinces in Pakistan. It is found that a labour market based explanation of sharecropping is important in the Pakistan context. The analysis has some regional and dynamic implications as well.
