Agrarian reform and seasonal employment in coastal Peruvian agriculture
研究了秘鲁北部农业生产合作社中临时工的年内供给函数、工资季节性波动、最低工资法的影响以及劳动力市场整合程度，发现合作社外部劳动力市场工资影响内部工资，且两个山谷的临时工市场整合度低。
This article attempts (i) to estimate intra‐year casual labour supply functions (ICLSF) for single field tasks to selected agricultural production cooperatives in Northern Peru; (ii) to explain the marked seasonal variation in wage rates paid by these cooperatives to casual workers; (iii) to evaluate the relevance of minimum wage legislation for casual labourers on these enterprises, and (iv) to assess the degree of labour market integration both within and between production cooperatives. Two types of labour supply function were identified: (a) perfectly elastic at the minimum wage, and (b) kinked ICLSF. Wage rates set in the cooperative's external labour market affect wage determination in its internal labour market. The casual labour markets in two valleys were found to be poorly integrated.
