The Meaning of Kinship in Sharecropping Contracts
基于菲律宾农户调查，发现与地主有亲属关系的佃农不受分成制激励扭曲影响，而其他佃农则受合同条款约束；亲属地主在紧急情况下提供更多帮助，从而促进合作行为。
Abstract Analysis of a household survey from the Philippines shows that the behavior of sharecroppers with a kinship relation with their landlord is not affected by the disincentive effects of product and factor sharing, while behavior of the other sharecroppers responds to the contract terms. We characterize the meaning of kinship ties through a survey of opinion conducted among tenants. The survey shows that kin landlords help or are expected to help more frequently in case of emergency than other landlords, and they do so with a wider range of instruments, providing the incentive for cooperative behavior in sharecropping contracts among kin.
