将非洲农业生产建模为顺序决策过程,男性先负责清理土地,女性后负责收获,通过切换回归测量劳动力约束,发现产出常受男性清理劳动力约束,但女性收获劳动力也显著约束产出。

Abstract

Abstract African agricultural production is modeled as a sequential decision process, with men's labor first allotted to clearing, then women's labor allotted to harvesting. A switching regression is then used to measure the constraints due to clearing labor capacity and harvesting labor capacity. The import of men's clearing labor depends on the valuation of shadow wages. Output appears to be more frequently constrained by husband's clearing labor, and in this situation male labor appears under‐utilized. However, output is also significantly constrained by female harvest labor, although the findings imply that female labor is over‐utilized at this stage.
