The System of Rice Intensification and its Impacts on Household Income and Child Schooling: Evidence from Rural Indonesia
利用2009年印度尼西亚数据，评估水稻强化栽培体系（SRI）对家庭收入和儿童入学的影响，发现SRI虽提高产量，但因家庭劳动力从非农转向农业，家庭收入未增加，且未发现儿童劳动效应。
Abstract The yield potential of a set of improved rice management practices, known as the System of Rice Intensification (SRI), has attracted much attention. Yet we know surprisingly little about SRI's socio‐economic impact. Using data from Indonesia in 2009, this study assesses the impact of SRI on household incomes and child schooling. We find that SRI generates significant estimated yield gains. However, because SRI induces a reallocation of family labor from non‐farm to farm, SRI users enjoy no household income gains. Despite the increased labor demand for farming, we find no evidence that SRI has a child labor effect.
